A bicycle wheel is rotating at 41 rpm when the cyclist begins to pedal harder, giving the wheel a constant angular acceleration of 0.50 rad/s2

What is the wheel's angular velocity, in rpm, 9.0 s later?

Expert Solution

1 revolution = 2 radians

1 minute = 60 seconds

Initial angular speed of the bicycle wheel = ₁ = 41 rpm

Converting the initial angular speed from rpm to rad/s

₁ = 4.294 rad/s

Angular acceleration of the wheel = = 0.5 rad/s²

Angular velocity f the wheel after 9 sec = ₂

Time period = T = 9 sec

₂ = ₁ + T

₂ = 4.294 + (0.5)(9)

₂ = 8.794 rad/s

Converting from rad/s to rpm,

₂ = 83.97 rpm

Angular velocity of the wheel after 9 sec = 83.97 rpm

A steel bicycle wheel (without the rubber tire) is rotating freely with an angular speed of 14.5 rad/s. The temperature of the wheel changes from -142 to 244 °C. No net external torque acts on the wheel, and the mass of the spokes is negligible. What is the angular speed of the wheel at the higher temperature?

Consider rider on a typical bicycle pedalling up a hill. Specifically, the case when the cyclist is using their body weight alone to apply the pedalling force. Draw a diagram of the situation that you can analyse the system and answer the following questions: a) Does the mass of the rider affect the acceleration of the bike (and rider) up the hill? b) Is there an optimum ratio from pedal crank radius to rear wheel (including the chain drive ratio)...
