A bicyclist travels in a circle of radius $25.0 \mathrm{~m}$ at a constant speed of $9.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The bicycle-rider mass is $85.0 \mathrm{~kg} .$ Calculate the magnitudes of (a) the force of friction on the bicycle from the road and (b) the total force on the bicycle from the road.

Step 1
0 \, \text{kg}$, $v = 9.00 \, \text{m/s}$, and $r = 25.0 \, \text{m}$. Plugging in the values, we get: $F_{\text{friction}} = 85.0 \, \text{kg} \times (9.00 \, \text{m/s})^2 / 25.0 \, \text{m}$ $F_{\text{friction}} = 275 \, \text{N}$ Show more…

(1I) A cyclist intends to cycle up a $9.50^{\circ}$ hill whose vertical height is 125 $\mathrm{m}$ . The pedals turn in a circle of diameter 36.0 $\mathrm{cm} .$ Assuming the mass of bicycle plus person is 75.0 $\mathrm{kg}$ , (a) calculate how much work must be done against gravity. (b) If each complete revolution of the pedals moves the bike 5.10 $\mathrm{m}$ along its path, calculate the average force that must be exerted on the pedals tangent to their circular path. Neglect work done by friction and other losses.
