A pair of bicycle racers have broken away from the pack and are approaching the finish line. The road is perfectly straight, headed due North. Each rider is going at a conservative speed of v1 = 10 m/s North, saving his energy for the final sprint. The wheels on each bike have a radius of R = 0.34 m.
At just the right moment, Peter makes his move. He accelerates as fast as he can to his maximum speed, increasing to v2 = 21 m/s North over an interval of t = 8 s. Just as he reaches maximum speed, he crosses the finish line -- the winner!
