easy Q1 of 15
General Science - Physics (Basics)
What is the main reason a bicycle becomes easier to pedal when the chain is well-oiled?
AIncreased friction between chain and gears
BIncreased air resistance
CReduced friction between moving parts
DReduced gravitational force
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand friction in mechanical systems

    Friction between moving parts causes resistance and makes pedaling harder.
  2. Step 2: Effect of oiling the chain

    Oiling reduces friction between the chain and gears, making pedaling easier.
  3. Final Answer:

    Reduced friction between moving parts → Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Oiling chain = Reduced friction ✅
Quick Trick: Lubrication reduces friction in machines.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing friction increase with lubrication effect.
