Question
Chapter 4, Problem 40A
To determine
To Explain: One needs to push harder on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep at a constant velocity
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: There are two types of friction that act on the bicycle. When it starts moving, static friction acts and then kinetic friction. To move the bicycle from a rest position, it is required to overcome the static friction which is larger than kinetic friction.
Explanation: Large force is required to accelerate the bicycle so that the total force acting on the bicycle is greater than zero. When a bicycle moves at a constant speed, the net force acting on the bicycle is zero.

Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times.

As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
