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.

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?

liraira [26]

An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

The metric unit of force is _____. kg kg/cm3 kg/cm2 N

ioda

The metric unit of force is Newton or N. The Newton unit is also equal to kilogram per meter per second squared. The Newton name came from the late physicist Isaac Newton. It is also based on the second law of motion.

Two objects experienced the same displacement in the same amount of time. The two objects must have the same -

nikdorinn [45]

If two object experiences the same displacement at the same time, the two objects must have the same average velocity.

The average velocity of an object is defined as the change in displacement per change in time of motion. This can be written as follows;

$avg. \ velocity = \frac{\Delta \ displacement }{\Delta \ time} \\\\V = \frac{\Delta \ x}{\Delta t}$

If two object experiences the same displacement at the same time, it means that the change in displacement with time is constant.

$\frac{\Delta x_1}{\Delta t_1} = \frac{\Delta x_2}{\Delta t_2} = V_{avg}$

Thus, we can conclude that if two object experiences the same displacement at the same time, the two objects must have the same average velocity.
