When riding a segway does it have the same power for someone who is heavy and does a heavy person go as fast as others when going uphill?
cool
Why do your car find it difficult while climbing the hills?
Any car that has to go uphill requires more effort than on a flat surface or downhill. Mainly because uphill is steeper (in an up direction) which also pushes against gravity.
What force do you have to overcome when riding a bike?
Friction - several different kinds - and inertia. If riding uphill, also gravity.
How much air does a mountain bike need?

What terrain requires a low gear for biking?
Going uphill, riding over soft terrain, or riding somewhere tricky where you need to be able to go slow.
Why does a bus going uphill travel more-slowly than going?

Why do people do Mountain bike- up hill?
Plenty of reasons. You might be riding somewhere where there's no other option than to drag your own sorry as uphill yourself if you want to get where you're going. You might think it's a more honest approach to the sport. You might want the intense exercise riding uphill provides. You might prefer the zero-emission status of pure human powered riding.

What is the most likely cause for the angle of growth of the tree?

How can active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport can occur against a diffusion gradient ("uphill flow).
When riding across slopes on an off road motorcycle you should?
You should keep your feet on the footrests and lean your body uphill. Also avoid making sudden throttle changes.
Which bicycle gear has the healthiest heartbeat?
There's no set answer to that. It'd depend on how fit you are, your riding conditions and what you're trying to achieve. A gear that will give a nice workout on the flat will be too heavy in a strong headwind or uphill. The gear that's nice uphill will be too easy with a strong tailwind, or a long descent. Basically you should pick a gear that makes riding hard enough to get you a little winded, but not so much that you can't speak.
