Describe 3 ways a bicyclist can change velocity.

She can pedal harder to increase the speed of the bicycle. She can apply the brakes to decrease the speed of the bicycle. And she can turn the handle bars to change the bicycle's Direction.

1. Applying more force and energy, speeding up

2. Releasing potential and kinetic energy by going down a slope, speeding up

3. Applying less force to slow down and let friction overcome the bicyclist
