A cyclist competes in a one-lap race around a flat, circular course of radius 140 m. Starting from rest and speeding up at a constant rate throughout the race, the cyclist covers the entire course in 60 s. The mass of the bicycle (including the rider) is 76 kg. Find Ff,net, the magnitude of the net force acting on the cyclist at the finish line. What is the magnitude of the net force Fnet acting on the bicycle as it crosses the finish line?

8. DETAILS Need Help? Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (see figure below). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 11.3 cm and bob of mass 0.230 kg. The string makes an angle 05.06° with the vertical. T (a) What is the radial acceleration of the bob? magnitude m/s2 direction inward m Bob Read It MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob? (Assume radially inward to be the positive x axis and vertically upward to be the positive y axis. Express your answer in vector form.) T= N
