Acyclist allows his bike to roll down a hill without pedaling . towards the bottom of the hill he applies his brakes. the bike comes to a stop. applying the brakes causes the brakes to warm up. describe the energy transfers that have occurred. state the forces doing work that couses each these energy transfers . you can ignore any friction between the bike and the ground and any air resistance.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
