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

Newton's first law tells us that an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest remains at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force.
This phenomenon is called inertia.
A wheel is designed to turn with little resistance. The surface of a tire on the other hand is designed to have maximum resistance between the tire and the road surface. If designed properly, the wheel allows the vehicle to move with little mechanical effort while the tire provides the necessary contact with the road surface providing the desirable control for steering and braking.
The brakes, of a motor vehicle or bicycle, modify the ability of a wheel to turn freely, and since the wheel will tend to turn less freely, the vehicle will tend to slow.
The inertia of the vehicle or bicycle with respect to the road can be considered to be kinetic energy. When the brakes are applied, the friction between the brake pad and the braking surface produces heat. The produced heat is a direct result of the amount of kinetic energy that is given off by the slowing vehicle.
The change in velocity can never be instant. Change in velocity is measured in ft/sec/sec or M/sec/sec. That phenomenon is called acceleration, and applies to any change in velocity.
These and other physical laws are the subject of high school physics classes and typically require considerable time to fully comprehend.

∙ 10y agoAll mass has the characteristic of inertia. Mass continues in its state of motion unless acted on by a force.
An object that is in a moving car is an object in motion. The car is also an object in motion. The car will slow or stop due to a force on the car but for each object in the to slow or stop, that object has to have a force acting on it separately. Usually the force is provided by contact with the car, but if that force is not there or too weak, the object continues forward when the car slows and stops.
The law of inertia says that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted on by and external force. Articulated as Newton's first law, but known to Galileo and others much earlier.

∙ 13y agoIt's simple, an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force, when your car suddenly stops moving then you keep going because there's no force stopping you, just the car

∙ 14y agoWell when you slam the brakes on a bike, you move forward because the bike wheels will stop and force will push you forward.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThanks to one of Newton's laws. This phenomenon is attributed to you having inertia. An object will keep moving until an outside force is applied.

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.
What type of energy is it when you move a handle or bike pedal and the gears or bike tires keep moving?
it is called mechanical energy.
What causes a force to produce motion?
To move an object forward from rest the thrust of forward force must be greater than the drag acting in the opposite direction. In order to keep moving at a constant velocity the forward force must equal the drag.
Why you fall when you sit idle in a bike and not during riding a bike?
From knowing nothing about physics and lots about biking, i think that you don't fall when you're moving because riding is all about correction. You fall to one side, so you steer that way so that the wheels are underneath you again, this keeps happening and you keep correcting it. When you're stopped, you're not steering, and so not moving the bottom of the bike back underneath you
Why is it easier to ride a bicycle than to balance it when stationary?
Because its wheels can move in the direction it is leaningThere are two ways to think about this: statically and dynamically. From the static point of view, moving the wheels in the direction that a bike is leaning gets the contact patches back under the center of mass. From the dynamic point of view, moving the wheels in the direction that a bike is leaning generates a righting moment about the center of mass. In either case, it is the lateral movement of the wheels that does the job, and forward (or backwards in some cases) motion along with a non-zero steer angle is necessary for wheels to move to the side. Once a bike is moving forward, there are at least four known reasons that it will steer in the necessary direction, toward the lean:1. The rider applies a torque to the handlebars in the correct direction. It is easy to demonstrate, however, that many bicycle are self-stable without a rider when moving forward at the right speed.2. The gyroscopic effect on the front wheel. No, the wheels don't simply resist tipping. Instead, the front wheel precesses by steering toward the direction it tips. It has been demonstrated, however, in a famous paper by Dr. David Jones in Physics Today that gyroscopic effects are not necessary for a bike to be easily ridden.3. A geometric parameter called trail causes the front wheel to turn in the direction that the bike leans. It has been demonstrated, however, in a paper published in Science that a bike with no trail and with no gyroscopic effect can be self-stable.4. The mass distribution of the bike. The authors of that same paper in Science conclude that the only thing left in their bike that could make the front wheel steer automatically in the direction that the bike leans is mass distribution.So, for any particular bike, one or more of these four effects in combination can steer the front wheel toward the direction that the bike is leaning. Then the forward motion can move the wheels in that direction which arrests and corrects the lean. None of this can happen when a bike is stationary, and that is whey it is easier to ride a bicycle when it is moving than to balance it when it is stationary.
Why do you keep moving after you slam your brakes on your bike?
Your momentum wants to keep moving forward.
Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on your brakes on a bicycle?
It is your momentum of moving forward that has to be overcome before your brakes can bring the bicycle to a stop.

Why do you keep moving foward when you slam on the brakes on your bike?
inertia
Why do you keep moving when you slam the brakes on your bicycle?
even though wheels are locked, and not rolling, road friction allows bike to slide until coming to stop
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 do all bike brakes have in common?
They try to keep the wheels from spinning.
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.

Whose family has the motto FORWARD?
in meet the robinsons it was keep moving forward, is that what you mean?
What is the job of the gullet?
the role of the gullet is a wire in a bike and it is continiously moving to keep the bike straight
What is a sentence with the word forward?
Soldiers, keep moving Forward. We had to fast forward the movie.
