Explain why bicycles have gears in terms of the force-velocity property of muscle.

2 wheels force is put on the back gear to push a larger gear on front . when pedalling on flat force should be applied on middle to smaller size. However when bike reached a terminal force it rider will move to smaller gear and go faster. If bike is going down hill the force of gravity will mean rider can manage the smallest gear as in fastest speed as Force = Mass × Velocity and the impact of gravity means less force is required as the weight of the bike and rider However the opposite it through for uphill as the rider is going against gravity ..weight and gravity will mean the rider will need to go to the larger gear the slower speed.

There are other factors as in wind and slip stream and type of pedals to maximise the force.

A box of books is in the floor. The following picture shows a push and a pull acting in the box.

Net force = 50 + 50 = 100 M
Since two forces act towards the same direction , total force should be their sum amd towards the same direction as the two forces

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves... A. increases with increasing water depth B. increases as water becomes blue in colo

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves increases with increasing water depth.

With increase in depth, the pressure inside the increases as p=ρgh.

And with this increase in pressure force associated with waves increase because force is directly proportional to the pressure. Now greater the force greater will be accleration and greater velocity is obtained.
