Question

The free-body diagram below shows the forces acting on a bicycle as the

rider pedals to the right. The vectors are not drawn to scale. The bicycle has a
weight of 700 N and a pedaling force of 325 N. As it moves, it encounters 100
N of air resistance. What is the net force on the bicycle in the x-direction?

Answer 1

The net force on the bicycle in the x-direction is 225 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force on the bicycle in the x-direction can be found by subtracting the air resistance from the pedaling force. The pedaling force is 325 N and the air resistance is 100 N, so the net force is 225 N in the x-direction.

Answer 2

225 N to the right
