Why does the cyclist have to keep pedalling to maintain their constant velocity?
because the force of friction at the wheels to ground is slowing it down
What are the forces acting on an cyclist which is slowing down?
As the cyclist increases its speed, so too does the frictional force. The cyclist will keep accelerating until both the forces become balanced. The cyclist will then remain at a constant speed until one of the forces changes again. Hope this helps
A cyclist goes around a level circular track at constant speed. Is the cyclist's acceleration zero because her speed is constant?
No. The cyclist is moving at a constant speed, but her velocity is changing. Remember that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. As speed is constant, only direction is changing. But a change in direction is a change in velocity (even if speed is constant), and this requires acceleration in that direction to accomplish the change in direction. You're on the right track, but just recall that acceleration is tied to velocity and not just speed. And note that velocity can change all the time without speed changing. Acceleration must cause the change in velocity. Consider that objects in orbit around the earth move at a pretty constant speed, but accelerate toward the earth all the time. Their speed coupled with their acceleration toward earth cause them to move in an arc - which is their orbital path.
How can you decrase friction?
Depends what you want to increase/decrease friction on. If is like a weight on the floor.. Then to increase the friction all you have to do is increase the weight, To reduce it you either reduce the weight or get a smoother surface, or maybe a cloth in-between the floor and the weight.

When does a cyclist appear to be stationary with respect to another moving cyclist?
when their velocity vectors are in the same direction and same magnitude
What is the force that stops a cyclist from skidding?
Friction

How would you find the average speed of a cyclist throughout an entire races?
Velocity, you divide distance/time Hi my names bob.

Calculate the distance in meters a cyclist would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12 km h to the southwest?
Ok, SO if the cyclist travels 12 km/h and he travels for 5 hours, 12 x 5 is 60 so 60 kilometers.
Why can an elephant walk on a sandy beach but a cyclist can't cycle?
Elephants are better than cyclist. Better than humans in general.
When was The Cyclist created?
The Cyclist was created in 1987.
How do you spell the plural of cyclist?
The correct spelling of the plural of cyclist is cyclists.
What is an example sentence with the word cyclist in it?
The cyclist from France stayed a few bicycles links behind the leader.
