Question

Force acting on a cycle result in a decrease in the speed of cycle, the force makes an angle Ɵ with direction of motion of cycle. what is the value of Ɵ

Answer 1

Answer:

Ɵ = 180

Explanation:

In order to reduce the speed of cycle, the force should be directed against the direction of motion of cycle. Hence if the cycle is moving along the x axis, then the force should be at angle of 180 or along the negative x asix, in this way the resultant force driving the cycle would reduce and this would slow down the cycle
