Question
which of newton’s laws can explain why a large bike requires more pedaling force to accelerate at the same acceleration as a smaller bike? a newton’s first law of motion b newton’s second law of motion c newton’s third law of motion d newton’s fourth law of motion
Brief Explanations
Newton's second - law states that force $F = ma$, where $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration. A larger bike has greater mass. To achieve the same acceleration as a smaller bike, more force is needed according to this law.
