What does the term cc in bikes actually mean?please give a detailed explantion?

the good doctor is correct, and it refers to the total maximum volume of all the cylinders

It depends on the bike. The kind of bike you might buy at a toy store is measured by the wheel diameter. More expensive bikes for serious cyclists, measure the wheel diameter and the frame.

you use your hands to pedal...it has different gearings on the cogs, freewheel, and sprocket. it is a funny position to ride in but is very good to strenghthen your arms and your whole upper body. it just takes getting used to.

Harmful:\n-means that the rider must exert extra energy to accelerate and thre friction acting on the wheels slow the bicycle down\n-air friction/resistance also acts in a way that requires more energy input to maintain a constant velocity or accelerate.\n\nBenificial:\n-Without friction, the wheels would just spin in place when you pedel, you could not accelerate at all.\n-I dont know about you, but when I ride a bicycle down a big hill, I like the fact that my brakes work...this is due to friction.

I've seen a 450 cc, and I thought that was big, but I recently came across a 500 cc as well!  I haven't seen any bigger than that.  I tried my friend's 450 cc, but I don't like them.

The first number ( "26" or "700" or "27") indicates the tire and wheel diameter. The second number ("1.5," "2.0," "25c," and "1 1/4") refers to the width of the tire as in 1.5 inches; 2.0 inches; 25mm; and 1 1/4 inches; and so on.\nDon't be confused by the road bike tire designation "c" as in the size 700 x 25c. The "c" is just a French tire size, it doesn't stand for a numerical measurement.

Displacement, measured in cubic centimeters (cc) is the difference between the capacity of all an engine's combustion chambers at the beginning and end of the combustion process. The cylinder head moves to compress fuel and air in the chamber by reducing its volume. So, if an engine had four cylinders and each cylinder changed the capacity by 325 cubic centimeters as it moved, then the total displacement of the engine would be 1300cc. Engines with a larger displacement typically provide more power, since they compress more fuel and air during each explosion.\n\nAutomobiles with less than 1000cc (or one liter) of displacement are not going to be very powerful, but motorcycles, which have less weight to move, can be very fast with only a 700cc engine.

That bike is not bad, and it is good that you are deciding against disc brakes...\n\nAnyway, I prefer Specialized.

How can I mistake you?  What does that mean?\n\nIf you google "contests computer"  or "contests motor bike" or "contest motorcycle", you might come up with a few.

If a track bike had brakes it is no longer a track bike.\n\nThis type of bike is the barest of things... no gears, no brakes. It is very light and very strong. It is direct drive- that means when the rear wheel moves, the crank moves right with it- kind of like the smallest of toddler bikes.\n\nA professional rider can accelerate from 0 to more than 80km/h in less than 2 seconds which is among the fastest accelerating things on the face of the earth. It is quite a sight to see!\n\nRiders tend to be extremely powerful, and the stresses placed on the bikes are extreme. I am amazed that more of these bikes don't simply disintegrate under them.

While pedaling bicycle ,our muscular energy get transferred to the rear wheel of bicycle with the help of axle . (muscular energy changes to rotational energy which get transferred to rear wheel with the help of torque produced by our force ). As the rear wheel moves friction comes into play and interestingly only rolling friction opposes motion of wheel whereas kinetic friction supports it .\n\nAs the cycle and driver both forms a system ,so the force applied by driver is actually applied on ground (not on cycle) and in the reaction ground pushes the system(driver and cycle ) forward . \n\nThe cause of motion of rear wheel is your transfer of muscular energy to it and as well as kinetic friction ,but the front wheel moves only because of kinetic friction.\n\nwhen U will stop pedaling then also cycle moves forward for some distance because of kinetic friction .

HUH?!?!?!?! What do you mean exactly? Try learning english before worrying about how many minutes to ride a bike.

ok biker bike, here we go.\n\nacc.= g = 9.8 m/s2, (any object moving in air will have this acc. or retardation)\n\nb) we apply formula\ns=ut + 1/2at^2\nu=20\nt=4\ns=20*4 + 1/2 *9.8 *4*4\n  =158.4 m\n\nc) v=u + at\n  therefore, t= v-u/a\n                   =50-20/9.8\n                   =3 seconds (approx)

I might get a gift card of some sort or a gift certificate.  One of the important things about a bike is the fit.  You could go to Performance or Bike Nashbar (sister companies) and buy a bike.  Colorado Cyclists is very good.  You could go to a site and buy a bike.  What do you do next?  If the bike fits, you are lucky.  What happens if you need to swap a part to get a better fit?  Very tough.  Since a good fit prevents injury and makes the ride more enjoyable, personally, I would get the card.

It's hard to say, exactly, as the term is used in a number of different ways.  Most likely the meaning you have in mind is that of a central air compressor that provides compressed air to an entire "plant."  (Factory, maintenance shop, bulk materials depot, medical gasses plant, or other type of "plant.")\n\nIf a central compressor provides compressed air for a variety of devices spread throughout the installation, then all devices that depend on compressed air will stop if the central compressor stops.\n\nTo be sure, you need to read engineering textbooks and the industry press, and get out there and get some hands on experience.  Good luck.

In the sense of a motor the terminology is from the the early days when wire fibers were used then later found that a brush made of carbon can deliver the power without wearing out the commutator. The carbon brush being of softer material would easily be replaced when worn down.\n\ncheck out the following link:
