Force = mass * acceleration. A question about gears.

mercredi 28 mai 2014

This question is about push bikes, but could be applied to anything with a versatile engine and a gearing mechanism.



My bike is propelled by pushing on the pedals. Whether I use a high or low gear, the force remains the same. If the force and mass remain constant, how come I can accelerate faster by starting in a low gear and working up in stead of just starting in in the high gear?
