Nicole pushes her bike up a hill. Overhead, the sun exerts a gravitational force on Earth. Which statement is true about the bike and Earth?

They both experience contact forces.
They both experience non-contact forces.
The bike experiences a non-contact force and Earth experiences a contact force.
The bike experiences a contact force and Earth experiences a non-contact force.

By dividing you can find the answer

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
