Its called inertia.

It takes work to stop an object that is moving,

if you don't have any (as in the cases mentioned), you keep on moving.

Why a person riding a bicycle fly forward off when hitting a rock explain on the basis of newton's first law?

Okay, so Newton's First Law of Motion states: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Okay, so with that in mind, a cyclist is moving forward. The rock is large enough to stop the bicycle. However, the cyclist not being attached to the bicycle, will tend to stay in motion, lauching said cyclist over the handlebars.

You riding a bike when suddenly you hit a large rock. The bike stops moving but you fly over the handlebars. This is an example of what Laws of motion?

This scenario illustrates Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. The bike abruptly stopped due to the force from the rock, but your body continued forward in motion until another force (like hitting the ground) acted upon it.

Is hitting a tennis ball a push or pull?

It is a push. See you push it forward with the tennis racket, making it go forward, away from you. When you pull something, you're bringing it toward yourself. But when you hit a tennis ball, you push the ball away from you.


Why should you jump straight up and down when hitting or blocking in volleyball?

You should jump straight up when blocking in volleyball, so you don't end up jumping into the net. However when hitting, sometimes it is good to allow room to jump forward a bit to propel the ball forward and down.
