A pedestrian and a cyclist left A for B at the same time. Having reached B, the cyclist turned back and met the pedestrian an hour after the start. After their meeting, the pedestrian continued his trip to B and the cyclist turned back and also headed for B. Having reached B the cyclist turned back again and met the pedestrian 30 mins after their first meeting. Determine what time it takes the pedestrian to cover the distance between A and B.

When a cyclist turns on a circular path,the necessary centripetal force is provided by friction between the tyres and the road. If centripetal force is not provided by friction, then for the vehicle to move on circular path, the track is banked. If the speed of a vehicle is doubled, then for safety of vehicle

Assertion : When an automobile while going too fast around a curve overturns, its inner wheels leave the ground first. Reason : For a safe turn the velocity of automobile should be less than the value of safe limit velocity.
