Question

You are riding a bicycle. If you apply a forward force of 150 N, and you and the bicycle have a combined mass of 90 kg, what will be the forward acceleration of the bicycle Assume there is no friction)
A. 1.67 m/s2
B. 1.85 m/s2 m
C. 0.60 m/s2
D. 3.37 m/s2​

Answer 1

Hello There!!

Given,

Force(F) = 150N

Mass(m) = 90kg

To Find,

Acceleration(a) = ?

We know,

F= m×a

$150 = 90 \times \text{a} \\ \\ \text{a} = \frac{150}{90} \\ \fbox{cancelling by 3} \\ \\ \text{ a} = \cancel \frac{150}{90} \\ \\ \text{ a} = \frac{5}{3} = 1.67 \text{m/s} {}^{2}$

$\therefore \text{Option A= 1.67 m/s² is the correct answer}$

Hope this helps
