How you would measure the mechanical advantage of a bicycle?
Describe how you would measure the mechanical advantage of a bicycle.
Which type of energy does a person use to a pedal a bicycle?
mechanical
What mechanical motion principle do the brakes in a car or on a bicycle use?
Friction
What mechanical motion principle do the brakes in a car or a bicycle use?
Brakes using friction halt or slow down mechanical motion.
When you put on the brakes of a bicycle friction causes some of the mechanical energy of the brakes to change to thermal energy?
true

What is the mechanical advantage for a bicycle?
Can't be answered. Different bikes have different gears, and with different gears come different mechanical advantage. A MTB can have an adjustable mechanical advantage ranging from 0.75:1 - 1:4
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine without friction?
Machinal advantage, also known as mechanical advantage, refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A machine can be useful even its machinal advantage is less than 1.
What kind of machine is a bicycle?
a mechanical machine
Why could it be useful for the mechanical advantage of a bicycle to be less than 1?
Speed. It's nice to be able to drive the wheel faster than the rpm's your legs can produce on the front gears.
What is the technical difference between bicycle and motorcycle?
A bicycle is powered by human exertion and a motorbike by mechanical power.
Which type of energy does a person use to a pedal a bicycle?
mechanical
Is the bicycle is important for business?
Kinda-sorta. The bicycle is important for the bicycle business, but has little influence on other areas.
Why does a longer bicycle ramp have better mechanical advantage than a shorter one?
Mechanical advantage is defined as the input force divided by the output force. If both ramps have the same final height, the longer one will generally have the greater mechanical advantage because it requires less overall work from the cyclist to raise the bicycle to a higher potential energy in a uniform gravitational field. The limit to this exists where the ramp becomes so long that it actually takes more energy to traverse than the short since you must account for the work required to maintain forward motion against friction and the climb against gravity. This limiting distance is related to the final height of the ramp.
Legs moving the pedals of a bicycle is an example of energy?
Mechanical energy
What mechanical motion principle do the brakes in a car or on a bicycle use?
Friction
What is the energy conversion of a bicycle dynamo?
It converts mechanical energy into electric energy. .
