Answer:

1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

Explanation:

v = Speed of the bike = 20 mph

t = time of travel = 2 h

d = distance traveled by cyclist

Distance traveled by cyclist is given as

d = v t

d = (20) (2)

d = 40 miles

We know that, 1 mile = 5280 ft

d = 40 (5280) ft

d = 211200 ft

F = force applied by cyclist = 50 lb

W = work done by cyclist

Work done by cyclist is given as

W = F d

W = (50) (211200)

W = 1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

Give reasons for the following:
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a. lower surface area, less resistence

b. more surface area, the load is split so no single tire overstrained

c. more surface area, more resistance against the sand. human steps sink down in the sand.

d. rapid change in air pressure on eardrums lead to somewhat-painful tension

e. air would always find its way in so no pressure difference can be achieved

(would indeed appreciate the brainliest if you appreciate the work)
