Please help need to know ASAP.
Eventually, even though she is still pedalling as fast as she can, she stops accelerating and her speed reaches a maximum value. Explain in terms of the forces acting why this happens.

In this question am I correct if my answer is that:
It is because of the force of the wind that is coming from both in front of her and behind her that prevents her from accelerating and decelerating.
or is it that she just decelerates from there and can no longer accelerate.
If not please can you explain to mean.......

Pedalling of bicycle involves application of force. The force applied produces circular motion to the tires which eventually transform into linear speed.

V = wr

Where V = linear speed

W = angular speed

r = radius.

Change in speed V will lead to acceleration or deceleration depending on increase or decrease in speed.

If she stops accelerating, then, she must have applied force that makes her pedalling at maximum speed. She is also maintaining this uniform (constant ) speed. After reaching her maximum speed.

At constant speed, acceleration = 0

Base on this explanation, even though she is still pedalling as fast as she can, which at constant speed, she will stop accelerating and her speed reaches a maximum value because she is pedalling at her applied maximum force.

Answer:

Resistive forces get bigger as the speed increases and eventually they reach the point where the pedalling forces become balanced and therefore there is no further acceleration.

Hope this helps:))
