Question

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 forward direction on both the front and rear wheels

Answer 1

The correct option is A in the backward direction on the front wheel and in the forward direction on the rear wheel

When we peddling the bicycle then the rear wheel will try to slip in backward so friction will act in the forward direction and on the front wheel it will try to slip in a forward direction so friction will act in the backward direction
