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.

When broiling frozen meats why should you place the meat farther away from the heat source than you would place thawed meats?

Since it is frozen, the outside will defrost faster than the inside causing the outside to cook faster. If you move it further back, you will prevent it from having a charred outside and a raw inside.


Why does weight make things go faster?

Because the weight on the object is a force that is measured in newtons (N) and that is gravitational force x mass / mass x 10. Basically, the weight is pushed down on the object which causes the object to move slightly faster than it normally would.

Do ice cubes melt faster in or outside water?

The temperature of the water and the temperature of the air would have to be factors in the answer. EDIT: Assuming the air and water are the same temperature, it would melt much faster in water. The thermal conduction is much higher.
