Physics · Secondary 4 · Medium · Resultant force and F = ma

A cyclist and bicycle have a total mass of 75 kg. The maximum horizontal driving force from the cyclist is 120 N. The total resistive force (friction and air resistance) is 45 N.

What is the acceleration of the cyclist?

$0.60\,\text{m/s}^2$
$1.0\,\text{m/s}^2$
$1.6\,\text{m/s}^2$
$2.2\,\text{m/s}^2$
