Question

A rear wheel motorcycle, accelerates on a rough horizontal road. Choose the incorrect statement.

• A. The net force of friction is backwards
• B. The force of friction on the front wheel is along the backward direction
• C. The force of friction on the rear wheel is along the forward direction
• D. The force of friction on the rear wheel is must exceed that of the front wheel.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The force of friction on the rear wheel is along the forward direction

As the Rear-wheel accelerates so it will try to slip in the backward direction so friction will act in a forward direction.

The front-wheel will try slip in the forward direction so friction will act in a backward direction.

As cycle moving in a forward direction so net friction should be in the forward direction.
