When a bicycle is in motion, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is such that it acts

A

in the backward direction on the front wheel and in the forward direction on the rear wheel

B

in the forward direction on the front wheel and in the backward direction on the rear wheel

C

in the backward direction on both the front and the rear wheels

D

in the forward direction on both the front and the rear wheels

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Engine rotates the rear wheels. Friction acts on rear wheels is forward direction to prevent slipping, which moves the car.
When the front wheels move forward, friction acts backwards on front wheel to prevent slipping which results in rotational of front wheels.
As the car accelerates forward, the forward friction on rear wheels is greater than backward friction on front wheels.

    A roller of mass 500kg is attached by a light horizontal chain to a tractor of mass 500kg. Assume the force of friction exerted by the ground to be 1000N. If the system has a forward acceleration of 2ms^(-2) , calculate (i) the total force required for the motion and (ii) the tension in the chain.

    A bicycle has pedal rods of length 16 cm connected to sprocketed disc of radius 10 cm . The bicycle wheels are 70 cm in diameter and the chain runs over a gear of radius 4cm . The speed of the cycle is constant and the cyclist applies 100 N for, that is always perpendicular to the pedal rod, as shown in figure. Assume tension in the lower part of chain is negligible. The cyclist is peddling at a constant rate of two revolutions per second. Assume that the force applied by other foot is zero when one foot is exerting 100 N force. Neglect friction within cycle parts and the rolling friction. The net force of the friction on the rear wheel due to the road is:

    "When a person walks on a rough surface the frictional force exerted by the surface on the person is opposite to the direction of his motion". Is it true or false ?

    Assertion : Angle of repose is equal to angle of limiting friction. Reason : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called as limiting friction.

    A spring is compressed between two toy carts to masses m_1 and m_2 . When the toy carts are released, the spring exerts on each toy cart equal and opposite forces for the same small time t. If the coefficients of friction mu between the ground and the toy carts are equal, then the magnitude of displacements of the toy carts are in the ratio

    When a person walks on a rough surface, the frictional force exerted by surface on the person is opposite to the direction of his motion. It is the force exerted by the road on the person that causes the motion.

    A car weighs 1800 kg . The distance between its front and back axles is 1.8 m . Its centre of gravity is 1.05 m behind the front axle. Determine the force exerted by the level ground on each front wheel and each back wheel.
