    Answer:

    It takes 6.52 s to complete the 150 m track.

    Explanation:

    Let’s find the position of the cyclist during the acceleration.

    x_{1}=v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}

    x_{1}=0.5(3.8)(4.5)^{2}

    x_{1}=38.48\: m

    Now, the final speed at this distance will be:

    v_{f}=v_{0}+at

    v_{f}=3.8*4.5

    v_{f}=17.1\: m/s

    Now, we know that x(tot) = 150 m, the remaining part will be:

    x_{2}=150-38.48=111.5\: m

    Therefore, the time is:

    t=\frac{x_{2}}{V_{f}}

    t=\frac{111.5}{17.1}

    t=6.52\: s

    I hope it helps you!
