Answer:
Answer B: A decrease in your applied force
Explanation:
A P E X
The equation for acceleration is a=F/m
F = applied force
a = acceleration
m = mass
If the numerator (top number) of a fraction is changed, the quotient (result of division) will be proportionally changed.
In this problem, the applied force is the numerator of the fraction. If there is a decrease in applied force, there will be a proportional change in the quotient, or the acceleration.
Pedaling forward over the bike with the increase in your applied force would decrease your acceleration. Thus, option B is correct.
Acceleration is define as the rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. The equation for acceleration is:
a=F/m
where, a = acceleration,
F = force applied
m = mass of the object
The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.
As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Therefore, if you are pedaling forward on your bike then a increase in your applied force would decrease your acceleration. Thus, option B is correct.
