What is a situation in which balanced forces are acting on a bike?

When the bike is not moving, there is an equal force between the bike and a surface. If you are seated on the bike in a still position, you and the bike would create an even balanced force. If you accelerated, you would create an unbalanced force.


A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 ms over a distance of 35.4 m Determine the acceleration of the bike?

0.712 m/s^2


How do you calculate the input force you apply to bike pedals?

How you calculate the input force that you apply to bike pedals involves multiplying the force by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. This is a part of the law of the lever.


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.


Discuss acceleration by providing at least one example and explaining why it would be considered scalar or vector?

When we ride on a motor cycle we turn the throttle and the bike's speed goes on increasing. This is positive acceleration. Now we switch off the motor. The bike comes to rest after travelling some distance. This is due to negative acceleration due to frictional force between the tyre and the floor. In this case acceleration is in opposite direction to the direction of motion of the bike. Hence acceleration becomes a vector.
