Question
Chapter 4, Problem 40A
To determine
To Explain: One needs to push harder on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep at a constant velocity
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: There are two types of friction that act on the bicycle. When it starts moving, static friction acts and then kinetic friction. To move the bicycle from a rest position, it is required to overcome the static friction which is larger than kinetic friction.
Explanation: Large force is required to accelerate the bicycle so that the total force acting on the bicycle is greater than zero. When a bicycle moves at a constant speed, the net force acting on the bicycle is zero.
