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

If you're going really really slow and you hit the brakes, you're going to stop almost instantly. When you're going faster, you've got your energy which is your body size so it takes energy to stop the bike. When you slam the brake you're trying to apply that energy to the wheels. Even if you lock them up so the wheels aren't spinning, you skid because friction is rubbing against the ground and that will be what eventually stops you.

If you have a wider tire, you're going to have more surface area hitting the ground and that will cause more friction so you will stop faster. If you have skinnier tires you will skid more so there are a bunch of different factors.

Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 43%.

Explanation: The increase in CO2 between these two suggested periods is approximately 43%. Even though it is a natural process that the CO2 levels vary in the atmosphere, still this is not the same case nowadays. Nowadays, or rather in the past few decades, apart from the natural increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, it has seen a much more increased levels because of the human activity. The industrial facilities and the vehicles, the cutting of the forests and burning the wood (there's both release of CO2 from the burning of the trees and loss of natural accumulator of the CO2), are just some of the more important human activities that contribute to a significant rise in the CO2 levels.

A circuit consists of a 9.3-mH coil, a 16.0-V battery, a parallel combination of a 19-Ω resistor and a 6.0-Ω resistor, and a swi
Alla [95]

Answer:

τ = 0.00203 seconds

Explanation:

The time constant τ in a R-L circuit is given by

τ = L/R

First we have to find out the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Since there is a parallel combination of 19 Ω and 6.0 Ω resistor

Req = 19*6/19+6

Req = 4.56 Ω

Now we can find out the time constant

τ = L/R

τ = 0.0093/4.56

τ = 0.00203 seconds

Therefore, the time constant of this circuit is 0.00203 seconds.
