Question

You are riding a bicycle. If you apply a forward force of 172 N, and you and the bicycle have a combined mass of 51 kg, what will be the forward acceleration of the bicycle? (Assume there is no friction)​

Answer 1

Answer:3.37 m/s^2

Explanation:

Just did it on apex

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 3.37 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$acceleration = \frac{force}{mass}$

From the question

force = 172 N

mass = 51 kg

We have

$acceleration = \frac{172}{51} \\ = 3.372549019...$

We have the final answer as

3.37 m/s²

Hope this helps you
