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.

When a driver applies brakes quickly what best explains why a book on the seat keep moving forward?

When a driver applies the brakes quickly, inertia causes the book to continue moving forward momentarily before friction and the force of deceleration from the car's brakes eventually bring it to a stop. The sudden stoppage of the car transfers inertia to the book, causing it to move forward until external forces act upon it.


Make a simple sentence with the word inertia?

The car's inertia caused it to keep moving forward even after the brakes were applied.


Why it is eay to balance bicycle in motion then at rest?

It is easier to balance a bicycle rolling forward than at rest because when rolling forward, you can move the support points, the tire contact patches, from side to side merely by steering the front wheel and thus keep them under the center of mass.


Is gravity acting on a moving bicycle?

Yes, gravity acts on a moving bicycle. Gravity pulls the bicycle and the rider toward the center of the Earth, influencing their motion. This force helps to keep the bicycle in contact with the ground and affects its acceleration and speed.


What could you do to ensure your bicycle efficiently changes the work input into forward motion?

To ensure efficient conversion of work input into forward motion on your bicycle, you should keep the chain clean and lubricated, ensure the tires are properly inflated to reduce rolling resistance, adjust the brakes to prevent unnecessary drag, and maintain proper gear shifting to optimize pedaling efficiency. Regular maintenance and tuning of your bicycle will also help ensure it functions at its 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.

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.
