This is a gordon rule question Q#1 Suppose a city block is 100 meter long and quite steep.if you were to ride a bicycle up the hill along a zig-zag path wichis 200 meters long. the average force that you must exert is -----the average force you would exert going sraight up the hill. Selectan answer from the list below and defend it using yourknowledge of physics of work and energy (a)1/4 (b)1/3 (c1/2 (d) equal to This is a gordon rule question Q#1 Suppose a city block is 100 meter long and quite steep.if you were to ride a bicycle up the hill along a zig-zag path wichis 200 meters long. the average force that you must exert is -----the average force you would exert going sraight up the hill.

Explanation / Answer
E = m g h energy requiredto reach top of hill E = F *d work =force * distance F times 200 meters is 1/2 the force times 100 meters to do thesame amount of work
