The pedals on a bicycle give a mechanical advantage by allowing you to turn the pedals a __________ distance to turn the __________ circumference of the wheels. A) long, larger B) long, shorter C) short, larger D) short, shorter

Answer 1

C.) Short, Larger

The pedals on a bicycle give a mechanical advantage by allowing you to turn the pedals a short distance to turn the larger circumference of the wheels

Answer 2

Correct answer is option C (Short, Larger)

Explanation:

In bicycle we use pedals to turn the wheel of the cycle. Circumference of the circle trace by the pedals of a bicycle is smaller than the circumference of the wheel of the bicycle. When a pedal of bicycle traces one circle that time wheel of the cycle also completed a round. Therefore, the pedals on a bicycle give a mechanical advantage by allowing you to turn the pedals a short distance to turn the larger circumference of the wheels
