Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4
Explanation:
The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:
(1)
Where:
is the Drag Force
is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material
is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case)
</u>
is the transversal area of the body or object
the bicycle's velocity
Now, if we assume , and do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:
(2)
Where 
groups all these coefficients.
So, if we have a new velocity 
, which is the double of the former velocity:
(3)
Equation (2) is written as:
(4)
Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>
