Meena applies the front brakes while riding on her bicycle along a flat road. The force that slows her bicycle is provided by the

  • A
    front tyre
  • Correct answer
    B
    road
  • C
    rear tyre
  • D
    brakes

Solution

The frictional force on the tyres is an external force and is being provided by the road. Other options i.e. front tyre, rear tyre and brakes comprise the internal parts of bicycle thus forces applied by them will be internal only.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
