When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of

the air. Model a cyclist as having cross-section area 0.40 m2 and, because the human body is not aerodynamically shaped, a drag coefficient of 0.90.
What is the cyclist's power output while riding at a steady 7.3 m/s?

Answer:

Power output = 96.506 watts

Explanation:

Drag coefficient (Cd) = 0.9

V = 7.3 m/s

Air density (ρ) = 1.225 kg/m^(3)

Area (A) = 0.45 m^2

Let's find the drag force ;

Fd=(1/2)(Cd)(ρ)(A)(v^(2))

So Fd = (1/2)(0.9)(1.225)(0.45)(7.3^(2)) = 13.22N

Drag power = Drag Force x Drag velocity.

Thus drag power, = 13.22 x 7.3 = 96.506 watts

Consider a bicycle that has wheels with a circumference of 2 m. Solve for the linear speed of the bicycle when it's wheels rotat
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:0.3183m/s

Explanation: V=wr

V=linear velocity

W= angular velocity

P=2πr

r=p/2π

r=2/2π

r= 1/3.142

r=0.3183

V= 0.3183*1

V=0.3183m/s

What graph would best represent acceleration as a function of mass when a constant force is applied?
Alex17521 [72]

The graphs of the acceleration as a function of mass and of the acceleration as a function of force are in attachment.

Explanation:

To answer both parts of the question, we refer to Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

a)

To answer this part, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Therefore, we notice that if a constant force is applied, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object:

a \propto \frac{1}{m}

this means that if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, and if the mass decreases, the acceleration increases.

In a graph of acceleration vs mass, the curve representing this relationship would be a hyperbole. The graph is shown as the first graph in the attached picture.

b)

As before, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Here we notice that if the object has a constant mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object:

a \propto F

this means that when the force increases, the acceleration increases, and when the force decreases, the acceleration decreases.

In a graph of acceleration vs force, the curve representing this relationship would be a straight line, as shown in the second graph in the attached picture.
