What mechanical motion principle do the brakes in a car or on a bicycle use?
Friction
Will was riding his bike when a dog ran out in front of him. He slammed on his brakes. During this quick stop some of the mechanical energy (his motion) was changed into?
Thermal energy
Can a heat engine converts disordered mechanical motion into organized mechanical motion?
Yes, for example a steam engine.
What is the difference between physical and mechanical energy?
Physical Energy is any activities that involve yourself, as a person, to complete them. For example, running, swimming, walking, doing push-ups etc. Mechanical Energy is energy by machines, perpetual motion. Example, like a bicycle wheel
When the brakes are pressed on a Car mechanical energy is converted into what type of energy?
The way brakes work are by applying a friction force to oppose the motion of the wheels. Like friction burns, the mechanical energy is converted into mainly heat and sound energy. If the force is significant enough, there will also be a marked distortion of the brake callipers (although this does occur with every usage, it's very small- one reason why brakes wear out even if there is no excessive usage.)

Friction
How a bicycles kenetic energy changes when the bicycle slows down?
Kinetic energy is the energy that comes from motion. When a bicycle slows down its motion becomes less so its kinetic energy becomes less. when you slow down, your kinetic energy is reduced.

Mechanical by friction or by motion of a conductor?
mechanical by friction or by motion of a conductor
If you find your brakes failing what should you do?
use your emergency brake if in motion, if not in motion get new brakes!
What is the resulting motion of forces acting on a unbalanced bicycle?
Constant acceleration is the resulting motion of forces acting on an unbalanced bicycle.
Do brakes on a bicycle create friction?
yes. friction is the action of one object's molecules hittings another objects molecules and creating an opposite force to slow the objects that are in motion down
When riding a bicycle past the building you're not moving relative to the?
The bike. Even though you and the bike are in motion the positions do not change.
What purpose does a hand brake serve?
A hand brake is almost an insurance policy for bicycle riders. If the bike's brakes fail for some reason, there is the hand brake that can be used to stop the bike's motion.
What are examples of rolling motion?
wheels of a bicycle
If the bus brakes and you fall Is this inertia of rest or motion?
Inertia of Motion
Your car squeals while in motion but stops when you hit the brakes?
have your brakes checked
