The ideal gear combination for going up a steep hill would be a larger gear ratio. Gears can help a bicyclist depending on the situation, they can either lessen the amount of force you exert while on a bike, or increase the amount you exert. A bicycle that's been at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force is acted upon it.

going up a steep hill? The ideal gear combination for going up a steep hill would be a larger gear ratio. Youd want a larger gear ratio because the larger the ratio, the more rotations and the more distance you cover. When traveling up a steep hill, you want to exert the least amount of force possible. This gear combination allows you to cover more distance in less time, allowing you to exert the least amount of force possible.
Which side of the road should I ride my
bike on? Why? You should ride your bike on the right side of the road, opposite of oncoming traffic. Traffic on the left side of the road has a much greater force than that of the traffic on the right side of the road due to the equation, force= mass/ acceleration. If there were to be an accident, traveling on the right side of the road is safer because the impact would be less than the impact of traffic on the left side of the road. It would be greater because the acceleration of the vehicles on the left side are greater than the acceleration of the vehicles on the right side.
How do gears help a
bicyclist? Gears can either lessen the amount of force you exert while on a bike or increase the amount of force you exert. They can help a bicyclist depending on the situation, if theyre traveling up a hill, having a larger gear ratio is useful for them because theyre traveling more distance in less time. If theyre casually riding their bike, they can choose to have a smaller gear ratio which means less work for the cyclist.
Why is it harder to start riding your
bicycle than it is to keep it going? According to Newtons First Law, forces keep doing what theyre doing unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Its harder to start riding your bicycle than it is to keep it going because a greater force needs to be exerted in order to make the bicycle move. Rather than when youre already in movement, the force youre exerting stays the same with no need for a greater force to be exerted. A bicycle thats been at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force is acted upon it, making it more difficult compared to a bicycle already in movement.
How does the mass of a bike affect the
riders ability to accelerate? The mass of the bike affects the riders ability to accelerate because the mass determines how much work the rider will have to exert. If the mass is greater, the harder it will be for the rider to accelerate, itll require more force. More mass equals more inertia. Therefore, the greater the inertia, the more force needed to accelerate.
Why do cyclists in races lean into their
turns? Cyclists lean into their turns because of Newtons First Law. When you need to make a turn, your bike will want to continue straight because objects keep doing what theyre doing unless acted on by unbalanced forces. In order to make that turn, cyclists lean into them. The reason for them leaning into their turns is because they need to exert an extra force for their bike to be able to complete that turn.
Why is a cyclist at much greater risk of injury than a
driver in an accident? A cyclist is at much greater risk at injury than a driver in an accident because the cars mass is much greater. Since the cars mass is greater its inertia is much bigger than the cyclists inertia. As Newtons First Law states, objects keep doing what theyre doing unless acted on by unbalanced forces. The car will keep doing what its doing unless acted on by an unbalanced force, which is not the cyclist.
Who has the advantage on a downhill bike ride - a
heavier or lighter rider? A heavier rider would have the advantage on a downhill bike ride. Theyd have the advantage because theyd take longer to reach their terminal velocity due to their force of gravity being bigger than the kighter riders force of gravity. The lighter rider reachers their terminal velocity much faster than the heavier rider giving it less time to accelerate. Therefore, a heavier rider has the advantage because they have more time to accelerate downhill. The terminal velocity is greater for the heavier rider.
