What are the forces acting on an cyclist which is slowing down?

As the cyclist increases its speed, so too does the frictional force. The cyclist will keep accelerating until both the forces become balanced. The cyclist will then remain at a constant speed until one of the forces changes again. Hope this helps

Why does the cyclist have to keep pedalling to maintain their constant velocity?
because the force of friction at the wheels to ground is slowing it down
Two forces are acting on a wheelbarrow. One force is pushing to the right and an equal force is pushing to the left. What can you say about the wheelbarrow's movement A) It is slowing down. B) It is n?
it slow down between force.
How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.
A bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
It has gravity pulling it down, inertia pushing it forward, the spin of the bullet causing it to curve VERY slightly, and air resistance slowing it down.
What are the main forces acting on falling rock?
Gravity and air resistance.
Which is an example of balanced forces acting on an object....... 1. a kangaroo jumping 2. a car turning a corner 3. a cyclist slowing down or 4. a leaf lying on the grass?
a car turning a corner
You ride a bike along a flat straight road the forces acting on the bike balanced or unbalanced?
If you're not speeding up, slowing down or turning - then forces are balanced.

I Need to know what happens when a pram is moving i need to 1Know when pram is speeding up and slowing down and what forces affect wheels 2When pram is speeding up normal slowing down?
The main forces acting on the pram will be the force the person pushing the pram exerts on it, the friction against the ground and air resistance. When the pram is speeding up the force the pusher exerts will be larger than the combined force of the air resistance and the friction against the ground. When the pram is moving at a constant speed the forces acting on it will be balanced I.e. pushing force= air resistance+friction. When the pram is slowing down the air resistance and the friction will be greater than the pushing force.
What is the name of the speed when air resistant and gravity stop a falling object from speeding up or slowing down?
Terminal Velocity is the speed that a falling object achieves when the drag forces that occur from air resistance are equal to the gravitational forces acting on the object.
What is the force acting backwards on a car in motion?
Air resistance / drag and friction are both forces which act in the opposite direction to the motion of a car
