Question

Why it is easier to stop bicycle than truck moving with a velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

It is because of inertia. Inertia is the property of a body by which it opposes changes in its state of rest or motion. Even though it cannot be calculated and is directionless (ie: it is a tensor quantity), it is found to be directly related to mass. The heavier an object has, the more inertia it possesses.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

It is difficult to stop a moving truck than a bicycle moving with same velocity because truck has larger momentum than bicycle (momentum = mass × velocity)
