Why is it easier to balance a moving bicycle |
| Answer» 1. The wheels of the bicycle each have their own angular momentum vectors, which like to stay pointed in the same direction, and hence resist tipping from side to side .2. Since the\xa0bicycle is moving, any tipping to one side or the other can easily be corrected by turning the front wheel slightly to one side and getting a mv2/r force that will tend to counteract the tipping. The greater the velocity, the bigger this force is.\xa0 | |
