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 rear
wheels.
(d) In the backward direction on both the front and rear
wheels.
Answer Posted / girish
Consider a bicycle first. Pedaling the bicycle merely
rotates the back wheel in clockwise sense. The velocity of
point of contact is therefore backwards. Hence, friction
must act forward on the rear wheel.
This frictional force causes a translational acceleration
of the entire bicycle, including the front wheel. The
velocity of point of contact tends to develop in the
forward direction. So friction acts in the backward
direction.
Similar reasoning apply to a car, for the engine merely
rotates the backwheel
