| In this case, the movement occurs exclusively due to the friction force, which, in fact, is the driving force. If there were no friction force, then the bicycle, as well as the car, would not move. Movement with acceleration becomes possible when the projection of the friction force on the horizontal axis exceeds the resistance force from the air in magnitude | | In this case, the movement occurs exclusively due to the friction force, which, in fact, is the driving force.
