When riding a bike downhill, you don’t necessarily need to apply force to maintain speed, as gravity already pulls you downward. However, applying force can help you control your speed and navigate turns safely. Additionally, pedaling can help you accelerate further or regain momentum if you encounter any resistance, such as wind or rough terrain.

Why don't you need to apply a force to your bike to make it go downhill?

i guess its gravity


If you want to increase the acceleration of a bicycle what must you increase?

To increase the acceleration of a bicycle, you can either apply more force to the pedals or reduce the bike's weight. Increasing force on the pedals will make the bike accelerate faster. Reducing the bike's weight will decrease the amount of force needed to accelerate the bike.


How can I remove the left bike pedal?

To remove the left bike pedal, turn it counterclockwise using a pedal wrench or a 15mm wrench. Make sure to apply force in the direction opposite to how you would pedal.


How do I properly remove the left bike pedal?

To properly remove the left bike pedal, turn the pedal counterclockwise using a pedal wrench or a 15mm wrench. Make sure to apply force in the direction that loosens the pedal.


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.


Would a tall or short ramp make the distance of a bike farther?

A taller ramp would make the bike cover a greater distance compared to a shorter ramp due to the increased potential energy at the top of the ramp that gets converted into kinetic energy as the bike goes downhill.


What is the force you apply to a simple machine?

The force you apply to a simple machine is known as the input force. This force is used to perform work on the machine, such as lifting an object or moving a load. The output force generated by the machine is what ultimately helps to make the work easier to accomplish.


How can we can make ths object move?

Apply an external force.


How can I install bike pedals without a pedal wrench?

To install bike pedals without a pedal wrench, you can use an adjustable wrench or a hex key to tighten the pedals onto the crank arms. Make sure to apply enough force to securely attach the pedals, but be careful not to overtighten them.


How can I remove bike pedals in the correct direction?

To remove bike pedals, turn the left pedal counterclockwise and the right pedal clockwise. Use a pedal wrench or Allen key for leverage. Make sure to apply force in the correct direction to avoid damaging the pedals or crank arms.


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


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.
