Two bicyclists are accelerating forward at the same rate. The net force on
both bikers is in the forward direction, but the net force on Biker 1 is greater
than on Biker 2. Which statement describes the mass of the bikers?
A. The bikers have the same mass.
B. Biker 1 has more mass than Biker 2.
c. The masses of both bikers are constantly changing.
D. The mass of Biker 2 is greater than the mass of Biker 1.

Respuesta :

Answer: B

Explanation: a p e x :)

The Biker 1 has more mass than the Biker 2. Hence, option (B) is correct.

Given data:

The magnitude of accelerations of Biker 1 and Biker 2 are same.

And net force on Biker 1 is greater than net force on Biker 2.

We are given that,

[tex]F_{1} >F_{2}[/tex]

And,

[tex]a_{1}=a_{2}[/tex]

We can now use the Newton's second law of motion to relate the applied force and mass for the same magnitude of acceleration produced by the Bikers.

So we have,

[tex]F_{1} >F_{2}\\\\m_{1} \times a_{1}> m_{2} \times a_{2}\\\\m_{1}>m_{2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the Biker 1 has more mass than the Biker 2. Hence, option (B) is correct.
