You are riding a bicycle. If you apply a forward force of 125 N, and you and

the bicycle have a combined mass of 82 kg, what will be the forward
acceleration of the bicycle? (Assume there is no friction.)

Answer 1

The answer that was correct for me was A. 55 N pulling left, and 16 N, 17N p

pulling Right

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1.52g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 125N

Mass combined = 82kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the bicycle = ?

Solution:

From Newton second law of motion suggests that:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration =
`(force)/(mass)` =
`(125)/(82)` = 1.52g
