- Assume that the trajectory of the back wheel of an ideal bicycle
is given by smooth plane curve b(t),
here t denotes time.
Write an expression for the trajectory of the front wheel f(t).
Show that the speed of the back wheel can not exceed the speed of the front wheel.
We assume that in the ideal bicycle the distance from back wheel and front wheel is fixed,
let us denote it by R and the back wheel always moves in the direction to the front wheel.
