What are some things cyclists do to reduce friction?

Physics
1 answer:

6 0

1. Cyclists could ride behind other cyclists to reduce the overall effects of wind resistance

2. Friction = μN --> where N is the normal force and μ is the coefficient of static or dynamic friction. By reducing the weight of the bike the could reduce the reaction force, which is the normal force that acts on them, which is friction is dependent on.

3. Also by getting a smother tire, which reduces the friction between the ground and the tire. This is why professional cyclists have smooth and thin tires meant for speed while mountain bikes generally have large projects called the tread of the tire, to increase friction so they dont slip while biking on rough terrain.

A bird flies overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 270.0ĵ m and at a velocity horizontal to the ground of 14.0î m/is.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

L = 8694 Kg.m²/s

Explanation:

r = 270 ĵ m

v = 14 î m/s

m = 2.3 kg

θ = 90º

L = ?

We can apply the equation

L = m*v*r*Sin θ

L = (2.3 kg)*(14 m/s)*(270 m)*Sin 90º = 8694 Kg.m²/s

A box weighing 200N is pushed on a horizontal floor. What acceleration will result if a horizontal force of 100N is applied on t
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the friction force in the reverse direction is 200 *0.4=80 N.

the net forward force acting on the box is therefore

Fnet= 100 - 80  N

= 20 N

acceleration = Fnet / mass

=Fnet *g/(weight)

=20 *9.8/200 = 0.98 m/s^2
