    Circular motion: bicycle moving in a circle. Find speed given r and degree

    Got it! After looking it over for a while I started from the beginning, this time setting up the y equation so we have: Fnet x = n*sin(theta) = (mv^2) / (r) Fnet y = n*cos(theta) - mg = 0 You can solve the y equation for n and then plug it into the n of the x equation so that the mass...

    Circular motion: bicycle moving in a circle. Find speed given r and degree

    Homework Statement A bicycle is racing around on a horizontal surface in a circle of radius 19 m. The force exerted by the road on the bicycle makes an angle of 23 degrees with the vertical. What is its speed? Homework Equations I believe this is a uniform circular motion problem, so...
