Questions and Answers

What are the counter forces acting against the forward force when a cyclist pedals?

  • Friction between the moving parts of the bike
  • Friction between the tires and the track (correct)
  • Air resistance inside the cycle track
  • Force of gravity pulling the bike down

What is required to understand how something gets faster or slower?

  • Understanding of forces (correct)
  • Awareness of weather conditions
  • Knowledge of speed limits
