How does friction affect a bike rider?
It can affect a rider because depending on how rough the road is the rider will fall.If it is smooth ground then the smoothness will not make the rider fall down all the way on the ground.
How gravity can affect a moving bike?
causes rolling resistance forces
How much resistance on a stationary bike for 20 newtons?
2 kilopounds
What forces are acting upon a bike riders' helmet?
air resistance, gravity
A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 ms the total mass of the bike and the rider is 85 kgit has a kinetic energy of 3.1x103 Joules No frictionWhat height will the bike if come stop?
You can use the formula for kinetic energy to verify the total kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv2). Then, assuming all the energy is converted to (gravitational) potential energy, use the formula for potential energy, and solve for height. (PE = mgh)
He Official Training Bike of Le Tour de France automatically adjusts wind resistance based on what two features of the rider?
your mom
If two bicyclists ride the same coarse on the same bicycle and one bicyclist gets a faster time is it because of the bike rider better or the technology?
If they're using the same bike, then they're using the same technology - so any difference must be found with the rider and not the bike. If both riders are equally sized then there's nothing else than rider differences to blame. If one rider is tall, and the other short, then who the bike fits best can also be an issue.
Is the kx85 or yz85 faster?
the yz85 is faster because it has so much top end and no power valves and the kx does. in a race a yz would win but it is 10% bike / 90% rider
What do you call the driver of a motorcycle?
Motor cycle Rider, bike rider, horse rider
How much slower does a bike go than a car?
There's really no telling, as both bikes and cars can be used in such different conditions. In congested city traffic a dedicated bike rider can easily be as fast or even faster than a car, while on the open road a car can easily be 3-4 times faster than even a race rider.
How many levels of resistance are offered with this bike?
There are eight levels of resistance on this exercise bike.
Reduce drag on a bike?
First look at the rider's clothes, they should be tight fitting and slick. Then look at the position, the rider should display as little frontal area as possible. Then look at the bike, which should also be as streamlined as possible. Low spoke count wheels, high profile rims etc.
Who rode the first dirt bike?
who was the first dirt bike rider
Is rider an adjective?
No, rider is a noun.EXAMPLE: The bike rider speedily raced down the street.Rider is a noun, and your subject.
Why cant bicycles go faster?
Depends. Sometimes bikes can't go faster b/c of the overall gearing. BMXes usually come up against that stop - the rider can't turn the pedals any faster. What'll eventually stop any bike is rider strength vs air drag and other friction sources. The faster you go, the greater air drag becomes. Eventually the rider simply runs out of power.
How could you reduce frictional forces so that a bicycle move more effiently?
The rider can wear tight fitting, slick clothes and assume a hunched down posture to cut down on wind resistance. The bike can use well lubricated moving parts and tires with low rolling resistance.
Lets say you have a bike that is 16 speed can you make it faster?
Assuming the bike is in decent condition the best way to make a bike go faster is to stick it under a better rider. Pushing harder and more often is the simplest way of getting more speed out of a bike. If that isn't what you wanted: check your tires (you want narrow, smooth, and pumped hard), check your hubs (should spin smoothly and with little resistance and wobble), check your position(should be low, hunched forward and allow for strong pedalling and easy breathing). Unless something is really wrong with your bike, you - the engine is the most important component.
