the person exerts a force on the bike by using their feet to pedal, this force is what allows the bike to travel. Since the question states that the bike is traveling at a constant speed, the air resistance in not affecting this FBD in this question.(yes it is in fact a simple model) however if...

lets say the bike is moving forward. If so then the friction will be acting on the bike in the backwards direction, because friction is a form of resistance. The bike is traveling at a constant speed therefore, the person riding the bike is creating a force that is equal and opposite to the...

thanks a lot, that helped me tremendously. :) i get it now, but there is another part where it says that another duck(1 kg) is added, and it is put at the front of the row. DUCK2(2kg)------DUCK1(5kg)------DUCK3(1kg)----->(10N) Now it asks for the tension connecting ducks 2(2kg) and 3(1kg)and...

ok well my question states that, two toy ducks are attached by a string. the front duck has a mass of 5 kg, and the back duck is 2.0 kg. they are bing pulled wiith a force of 10N and there is no friction. calculate the tension of the rope after u have calculated the acceleration. the...

hi i am in grade 11 university physics, and i have a test coming up that requires me to calculate tension. Unfortunately i have no clue how to do this. Can someone help ?
