45 POINTS!! IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO DO THIS YOU'RE A HERO
Pretend you are in a world with no friction or air resistance. You are on your bicycle at the top of a small hill. You kick off and without pedaling, you roll down the hill. How far will you go without pedaling in this pretend world? How does it compare with how far you might go in the real world? If there is a difference between the two worlds, why is this so? Explain as precisely as you can, using the law of conservation of energy in your explanation.
A 2-4 paragraph expository essay. This will include a full explanation of the normal conditions scenario and the frictionless world scenario in paragraph form.
No matter the format, the work must include:
A description of the bike’s behavior in our normal world with friction and air resistance, including distance traveled.
A description of the bike’s behavior in a frictionless, air resistance free world including distance traveled.
An explanation of forces at play in both scenarios and the kinetic and potential energy levels of the bike at various points in its travel down the hill. This will include application of the Law of Conservation of Energy using appropriate vocabulary words.
Spelling, grammar conventions, sentence structure and visual choices that allow your reader to access the information you are providing.
