Why don't you need to apply a force to your bike to make it go downhill?
i guess its gravity
Is it possible to attach downhill forks to giant fx3?
Yes, but won't make it a DH bike. If you take it DH-ing odds are you'll break something - either the bike or you.
Does momentum make a bike move down a hill?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity which infers motion taking place. If the bike was moving then yes it would make it go downhill. The real culprit would be gravity if the bike was not already in motion. The hill is an incline and the bike is being pulled by gravity down that incline.
Do machines make work easier by lowering the amount of force needed to perform work?
no when we applied any force on machine the machin do work fast like bike when we accelarate the bike then bike fast than genral speed
How can we can make ths object move?
Apply an external force.
Would attaching a weight on outside of rim make a bike go faster?
Kinda-sorta, but not really. When you're riding downhill, more weight will make you faster. But if you have to pedal the bike up as well, you'll probably lose more on the climb than what you'll gain on the downhill. On the flat, weight doesn't matter that much either way. A heavier bike will take more effort to get up to speed, but it will lose speed slower when coasting. Either way, heavier wheels will make the handlig more sluggish - or stable if you wish.
How can you make the object speed up or slow down?
Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same directionthat it's moving.-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.
To do work how must a force make an object move?
You apply a force to an object. The object must move in the same way as the applied force
If you try to make a wheel and axle work do you have to apply force or effort?
yes
What is the part of the car you should put force on to make the car go faster?
You would apply force to the accelerator to make the car go faster.
What is an example for a force causing an object to start moving?
The force you apply to the mouse button to make it click is.
What is effort in science?
Effort is when you apply force on a tool to make it work(mostly in mechenical cases).
