But it’s asking for the force the rider provides, not the net force.SammyS said:

You are suffering from a common confusion between friction and rolling resistance. The relevant equation posted takes friction as always something opposing motion, which is incorrect.paulimerci said:
Newton's Laws of motion are three fundamental principles that describe the behavior of objects in motion. They were first described by Sir Isaac Newton in his book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
The first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
The second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be mathematically expressed as F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.
The third law of motion, also known as the law of action and reaction, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
Newton's Laws of motion can be observed in many everyday situations, such as when a car accelerates or when a person jumps. They also form the basis of many engineering and technological advancements, such as the design of airplanes and rockets. Understanding these laws can also help us predict and explain the motion of objects in our daily lives.
