When you ride a bicycle in what direction is the angular velocity of the wheels?

Physics
1 answer:
melomori [17]4 years ago
4 0
I think that the angular velocity vector points at right angles to the direction in which the wheels are turning (spindle on an old fashioned record player ?) and so at right angles to the direction the bike is moving in. This contributes to the gyroscope effect on the wheels and bike and allows a rapidly rotating wheel to be more stable than a slowly rotating one. Problem for the trainee cyclist is to believe that they are actually more stable when their wheels are moving quickly. 'cos the tendency is to go slowly to start with, which makes balancing harder. 
But then, most cyclists, especially youngsters, don't sit down all day analysing circular motion vectors, which may be just as well.

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.6 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 4.2 m be
rewona [7]

Answer:

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.6 m/s

Initial horizontal velocity uh = 4.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity uy = 0

Height to fall d = 4.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

The final vertical velocity of the fish when it hits the water can be calculated using the equation of motion;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = uy^2 + 2gd

uy = 0

v^2 = 2gd

v = √(2gd)

Substituting the given values;

v = √(2×9.8×4.2)

v = 9.073036977771 m/s

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

A balloon tied up with a wooden piece is moving upward with velocity of 15m/s. At a height of 300m above the ground, the wooden
Inessa05 [86]
Assume the wooden piece prevents the balloon from rising, is not so heavy as to cause the balloon to descend. and the 15 m/s is horizontal velocity “riding the wind,” That horizontal velocity does not affect the time the wood will take to reach the ground after release. Initial vertical velocity is zero.

s = u t + 1/2 g t^2

s is the height above ground, 300 m.

u is initial vertical velocity, zero.

t is time to reach the ground.

g is acceleration of gravity near Earth, 9.8 m/s^2.

300 m = 0 t + 1/2 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

300 m = (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

61.22 s^2 = t^2

7.82 seconds = t

When the electric field strength is large, electric field lines are: a) close together.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: a) close together

Explanation: The electric field lines also  represent the intensity of the field, in this sense  for strong electric fields it is usually draw the lines close to each other. In constrast when they are far apart the electric field is weak.

Janet ran 30 meters in 4 seconds,what is her speed.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

7.5 meters per second

Explanation:

30 / 4 = 7.5

7.5 * 1 = 7.5

7.5 * 2 = 15

7.5 * 3 = 22.5

7.5 * 4 = 30
