Question

The table below describes split time, distance traveled, elevation gain, and elevation loss during a bike ride. Elevation gain indicates how much the rider climbed (vertical displacement upward direction) and Elevation loss indicates how much the rider descended in height (vertical displacement downward direction) during each split. Answer the following questions. The total distance the cyclist traveled? The total vertical displacement during the 6^th split The average speed (km/h) during the 2^nd split

Explanation / Answer

Sol:

A)

total distance=8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8=80 km

solb)

elevation gain-elevation loss=27.1-10.1=17

solc)average speed=distance/time=8+8/0.26+0.25=16/0.51=31.37 km/h
