What is the function of the pedal crank arm in a bicycle's drivetrain system?

The pedal crank arm in a bicycle's drivetrain system converts the circular motion of pedaling into rotational motion, which drives the chain and ultimately propels the bike forward.


What is the purpose of a crank arm in a bicycle's drivetrain system?

The purpose of a crank arm in a bicycle's drivetrain system is to convert the rider's pedaling motion into rotational force that drives the chain and ultimately propels the bike forward.


What is the purpose of a single speed freewheel sprocket in a bicycle drivetrain system?

The purpose of a single speed freewheel sprocket in a bicycle drivetrain system is to allow the rider to coast without pedaling while the bike is in motion.


What is the resulting motion of forces acting on a unbalanced bicycle?

Constant acceleration is the resulting motion of forces acting on an unbalanced bicycle.


What energy transformation takes place in a bicycle?

In a bicycle, the energy transformation involves converting the chemical energy stored in the body into mechanical energy by pedaling. This mechanical energy is then transferred to the wheels, where it is further transformed into kinetic energy to propel the bicycle forward.


What is the function of the bike crank shaft in a bicycle's drivetrain system?

The bike crankshaft converts the rider's pedaling motion into rotational power that drives the chain and ultimately propels the bicycle forward.


Why a person riding a bicycle fly forward off when hitting a rock explain on the basis of newton's first law?

Okay, so Newton's First Law of Motion states: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Okay, so with that in mind, a cyclist is moving forward. The rock is large enough to stop the bicycle. However, the cyclist not being attached to the bicycle, will tend to stay in motion, lauching said cyclist over the handlebars.

What energy transformation is in a bicycle?

The energy transformation in a bicycle is primarily mechanical energy. When the rider pedals, their muscle energy is converted into kinetic energy to move the bicycle forward. The mechanical energy is also used to overcome frictional forces like air resistance and rolling resistance.
