Question
When brakes are applied while riding a bicycle, it stops after running a distance. Why?

Answer

  1. When brakes are applied while riding a bicycle, frictional force comes to act between the tyres of the bicycle and the surface.
  2. This force opposes the tendency of the bicycle to stop.
  3. Hence, the bicycle has to overcome this force before it stops.
