Imagine that an external force of 100 N must be applied to keep a bicycle and rider moving at a constant speed of 12 mi/h against opposing air drag. To double the bike’s speed to 24 mi/h, we must increase the magnitude of the force exerted on the bike to
A. 141 N
B. 200 N
C. 400 N
D. It depends on the bike’s shape and area
E. Other (specify)
C. 400 N
