Question

John pushes his bike along the sidewalk at a constant speed. If he increases the force on the bike, what happens?

Answer 1

Speed increases

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, force acting on a body is equal to the product of mass of body and the acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

when the force increases, acceleration also increases as the mass of the bike always remains constant.

When the acceleration increases, the velocity of bike also increases.

Answer 2

The bike will increase speed.
F = ma
if force increases, then either mass has to increase to accompany the equation or the acceleration increases. It is more probable that the bike will go faster instead of growing in weight.
