Why does a biker have to pedal harder to travel at a constant speed into the wind on a windy day compared to traveling on the same road at the same speed on a calm day?

On a windy day, the biker has wind pushing against it. The biker has to pedal harder because of the force pushing against the biker and the bike itself.

How far can an airplane travel in 5 hours if it is traveling at a constant velocity of?
It will fly exactly .
How far will a car travel in 2 hrs if traveling at 75 km an hour?
A car travelling at a constant speed of 75km/h for 2 hours will travel a distance of 150km.
How fast would light travel when emmitted from an object traveling 100 million miles per hour?
The speed of light is constant. It is 671,000,000 mph.
How many minutes does it take to travel 50 miles going at a speed of 60 mph?
At a constant speed of 60 mph, you are traveling 1 mile per minute. It will take you 50 minutes to travel 50 miles.
A vehicle is traveling 60 miles per hour (mph). Assuming that the vehicle's speed remains constant approximately how much distance will it travel in four hours?
It will have travelled 4*60 = 240 miles
How far can an airplane travel in 5 hours if it is traveling at a constant velocity of?
It will fly exactly .
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
Why does a car traveling at constant speed can accelerate while a car at constant velocity connot?
The question is inherantly flawed. A car traveling at a constant speed cannot accelerate, if it could it's speed would not be constant. "Constant speed" means that speed is not increasing or decreasing but remain consistent over time. For example, if you cover 10 feet during each second, your speed is constant. "Constant velocity" implies constant speed, but it has an additional constraint: you can't change your direction. If you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a straight line, then your speed is constant and your velocity is constant. But if you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a wiggly line (or a circle, or anything not straight), then your speed is constant but your velocity is NOT constant. If you travel at a constant speed but change direction, velocity is changed. Or if you travel in the same direction but change the speed, velocity is changed. Average speed is is easier: distance/time So, your question should read: Why can a car traveling at an average speed accelerate, but a car traveling at constant speed cannot? Or Why am I asking the wrong questions?

Types of electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum travel at the speed of light The speed of light?
is a constant, about 300,000,000 m/s.
A plane traveling at a constant speed is able to travel 750 miles in 5 hours How fast is the plane flying?
150 MPH
What is different about the motion of satellites that travel in elliptical paths compared to satellites that travel in circular paths?
Elliptical satellites don't have a constant speed, but circular satellites do
How far will a car travel in 2 hrs if traveling at 75 km an hour?
A car travelling at a constant speed of 75km/h for 2 hours will travel a distance of 150km.
How long does it take traveling 25miles per hour to travel 15 miles?
36 minutes if going at a constant rate. distance divided by rate (speed)=time it will take to travel.
What if the animal crossing game dose not let you travel?
It would be harder to get money and you'll have to play by the rules. Most people get money (including me!) by time traveling! :)
How fast would light travel when emmitted from an object traveling 100 million miles per hour?
The speed of light is constant. It is 671,000,000 mph.
Does the car traveling the longest time travel the greatest distance?
No. In general, for the simplified case of constant speed, use the formula: distance = speed x time
