Why does bicycle gradually slow down when you stop pedaling?
due to force of friction
What force slows a skateboard when a skateboarder puts a foot down to brake?
gravity
What force causes a bike to slow down when you stop pedalling?
Friction causes the bike to slow down.
Why can you exert greater force on the pedals of bicycle if you pull up on the handlebars?
because the muscles in your arms pulling on the handle bars causes an equal and opposite reaction from the bars acting on your arms in a direction toward the bike. this force counteracts some of the upward force from the equal and opposite reaction from the pedals due to you pushing down with your feet. in other words, it allows you to counter some of the force by involving muscle from your arm in the force to hold you down to the bike
What force causes a yo yo to slow down and stop?
inertia
Which force causes a bicycle to slow down when the brake are used?
That is called friction.
Where the brake levers apply force in a bicycle?
Well, the lever will apply a force to a linkage, connecting the lever to the actual brake. Then the force will travel through the linkage, down to the brake. In the brake, the force will be used to pinch a moving surface between two stationary surfaces, and the friction generated there will slow the bike down.
Why do the brake pads on a bicycle become warm when you ride down a hill?
friction
When you use the hand brakes on a bicycle what force are you using to change the motion of the bicycle?
There are several force transitions going on in the linkage, but in the actual brake you are using friction to turn speed into heat.The most important one is friction, but apart from that there's a lot of mucking about with mechanics in order to translate the motion by the hand at the lever into something capable of slowing down a wheel.There are several forces needed to make a bicycle brake work IRL. But I assume the one you're asking about is FRICTION.
What causes a bicycle to speed up going down hill?

Is the brake of a bicycle a type of lever?
What the brake lever does is that it use the action of the rider pulling on the lever into a force that can be used to slow the wheel(s) down by generating friction.
Why does bicycle gradually slow down when you stop pedaling?
due to force of friction
Applying the brakes on this bicycle causes it to slow down because the brakes?
Yes, applying the brakes on a bicycle should slow it down. Little squares of rubber are pressed to the metal rimming on the bicylce's wheel when you pull a handle brake, or pedal backwards (depends on if it's an adult bike or children's bike).
What force slows a skateboard down when skateboard puts a foot down to brake?
gravity
How can a force produce motion on a bicycle?
Pushing down on the pedal will cause the bike to move forward.
What force causes water to go down the drain?

When a skateboarder puts their foot down to brake what type of force is used?
Friction.
