A cyclist is moving along at an initial speed of 10m/s. As he moves, he experiences a friction force of 60 Newtons, but at the same time is applying a forward push with the pedals. Describe what will happen to the velocity of the bicycle if a) He applies no force at all with the pedals b) He applies a force of 70N forwards c) He applies a force of 60N forwards d) He applies a force of 50N forwards
