Suppose you ride a bicycle on a horizontal surface in a circle with a radius of 20
Question:
Suppose you ride a bicycle on a horizontal surface in a circle with a radius of 20 m. The resultant force exerted by the road on the bicycle (normal force plus frictional force) makes an angle of 15° with the vertical.
(a) What is y our speed?
(b) If the frictional force is half its maximum value, what is the coefficient of static friction?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
