Suppose you're riding your bicycle in the mountains. You climb a mountain pass on a scenic roadway and prepare to descend the other side of the mountains. You have a choice of two roads you can use to descend. One road is two miles long, while the other is ten miles long. Assuming you apply the same, consistent braking force throughout the duration of your descent for either route, which descent route will allow you to reach the base of the pass with the highest speed? Two-mile (shorter) route Ten-mile (longer) route No difference

ten miles long. Assuming you apply the same,
consistent braking force throughout the duration of
your descent for either route, which descent route will
allow you to reach the base of the pass with the
highest speed?
Two-mile (shorter) route
