Gravity itself does not slow down a bike. However, when riding uphill, gravity acts in the opposite direction, making it harder to pedal and potentially slowing the bike down. Additionally, gravity can contribute to the bike picking up speed when going downhill.

Why is the stopping distance of a car traveling uphill is less than when it is traveling on a level road?

The stopping distance of a car traveling uphill can be less than on a level road due to gravity assisting in the deceleration process. When driving uphill, the incline can help slow down the car as it works against the forward momentum. This can lead to a shorter stopping distance compared to a level road where the car solely relies on its brakes to stop.


When you push a car what would make it stop?

The car will stop when you are no longer applying force to move it forward. Friction between the tires and the ground will gradually slow it down until it comes to a complete stop.
