Inertia and riding bikes?

When riding a bike, inertia helps to keep the bike moving forward and stabilize it as you pedal. Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, so when you pedal, your body and the bike have inertia that keeps you moving forward. Turning or stopping the bike requires the application of additional forces to overcome this inertia.


Why do you push harder on the pedals of the bicycle when first starting out than when moving at constant speed?

Basically, as a body accelerates, the forces acting upon it are unbalanced. However, as one reaches uniform speed (constant speed) you are no longer accelerating, so the forces acting upon the bike are now balanced. Newton's second law of motion states that when something is moving, it will continue to move at the same velocity until another force is applied (inertia). Because of this, the bike will be moving "on its own" after you stop peddling, so there is less need to pedal.


Why do keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes on your bicycle?

Because when you brake, the brakes stop the wheels from moving. But that doesn't stop the bike from moving. It means that the speed/force/velocity at which you were traveling was forceful enough to override the brakes. So basically, you're sliding.


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.


What type of energy is a moving bike?

The energy associated with a moving bike is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As the pedals rotate and the wheels turn, the bike gains kinetic energy due to its motion.

Why do you keep moving foward when you slam on the brakes on your bike?

inertia


Are cars airplane wings and bike helmets built in a streamlined shape to reduce inertia?

yes


How does inertia help a bicycle start?

it doesn't, in fact it makes it harder. Inertia resists change, so it makes it a bit difficult to get the bike moving.


How does a bicycle stay upright when moving?

A combination of inertia and centrifugal force. The wheels, once rotating, create centrifugal force which in conjunction with gravity cause the bicycle to move forward creating inertia. the more energy put into the bike via the drivetrain, the more inertia is created and the more stable the bike becomes.

When you ride a bicycle at full speed and the bike stops why do you have to push hard on the handlebars to keep from flying forward?

It's called inertia, or conservation of energy. Basically it means that an object that is moving likes to keep moving, and that an object at rest likes to remain at rest. When you're on the bike you are that moving object that would like to remain moving, so to resist that force you have to brace your arms against the bars. The bike willthen transfer that force through the for and wheel and into the ground.


Can you have a speedometer on a pit bike?

yes you can , they are OK but arent the best .

When a person is riding a bicycle and suddenly apply the front brake the back part of the bicycle raises why?

Because of inertia. Stuff that is moving wants to keep moving. When the bike can't go forward, it'll try to topple forward instead.


What forces are active when your thrown from your bike?

Inertia, gravity, friction.


Why you fly forward off the bicycle or skateboard when hitting a curb or rock or other object that abruptly halts the motion of the bike or the board?

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.
