GCSE AQA Physics 5.4 Moments, Levers & Gears: Figure 3 shows a cyclist on a bi

Question

Figure 3 shows a cyclist on a bicycle.

The cyclist is moving at a constant velocity.

Arrows A and B represent the horizontal forces acting on the bicycle and cyclist.

**Figure 3**

What is force A? Tick (✔) one box.

Air resistance  
Friction  
Tension  
Upthrust

What is force B? Tick (✔) one box.

Air resistance  
Magnetic  
Tension  
Upthrust

What is the relationship between force A and force B when the cyclist travels at a constant velocity? Tick (✔) one box.

A = B  
A > B  
A < B

The cyclist applies a force of 150 N to one of the bicycle pedals.

**Figure 4** shows the distance between the force applied and the pivot.

Calculate the moment about the pivot caused by the force applied to the pedal in **Figure 4**.

Use the equation:
moment of a force = force × distance

Moment = __________ N m

**Figure 5** shows how the pedal is connected to the back wheel of the bicycle.

Complete the sentence.
Choose the answer from the box.

__________

The force from the cyclist pushing down on the pedal is transmitted to the back wheel by the __________.

The cyclist travels from home to school.

**Figure 7** shows the route the cyclist followed.

Draw an arrow on **Figure 7** to show the displacement of the cyclist.
