Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle of mass 25 kg as shown in Fi

1.	Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle of mass 25 kg as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Answer» Given: Mass of bicycle m = 25 kg Fig. I: Net force acting in the forward direction, F = 500 – 400 = 100 N acceleration a = \(\frac{F}{m}\) = \(\frac{100}{25}\) = 4ms^-2 Fig. II: Net force acting on bicycle F = 400 – 400 = 0 ∴ acceleration a = \(\frac{F}{m}\)= \(\frac{0}{25}\) = 0

Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle of mass 25 kg as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Answer»

Given:

Mass of bicycle m = 25 kg

Fig. I:

Net force acting in the forward direction, F = 500 – 400 = 100 N

acceleration a = \(\frac{F}{m}\) = \(\frac{100}{25}\) = 4ms^-2

Fig. II:

Net force acting on bicycle F = 400 – 400 = 0

∴ acceleration a = \(\frac{F}{m}\)= \(\frac{0}{25}\) = 0
