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.


What is an example of translatory motion?

Any motion where the object moves from place to place, e.g. someone riding a bike.


If a car bike and airplane aren't moving which has more inertia?

The airplane has more inertia because it has a greater mass compared to the car and bike. Inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass, so the larger the mass, the greater the 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.


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.

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.

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.

What has more kinetic energy a bike or a car?

A car has more kinetic energy than a bike because it has a greater mass and generally moves at higher speeds. Kinetic energy is dependent on both an object's mass and its velocity, so the larger, faster-moving car will have more kinetic energy compared to a smaller, slower-moving bike.
