    How Does Static Friction Affect Bicycle Acceleration?

    Just to make sure, my description of the free body diagram looked correct? If so, when calculating the frictional force, it would just be equal to the y component of weight on the rear wheel (assuming rolling friction is negligible.)? We are assuming a 50/50 weight distribution. When...

    How Does Static Friction Affect Bicycle Acceleration?

    Homework Statement Consider a biker riding on level ground as shown. She wants to have the maximum forward acceleration possible, which means experiencing the maximum horizontal force without her wheels slipping. Draw the free body diagram for the bike accelerating forward. Homework...
