Why is it easy to balance on a moving bike but not when it stands still?
In: Physics
Newtons first law of motion: Corpus omne perseverare in statu suo quiescendi vel movendi uniformiter in directum, nisi quatenus illud a viribus impressis cogitur statum suum mutare.
A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by a force.
So, when you’re on your bike and you’re both in motion, unless other forces interact with you, the momentum you have will keep you upright in a straight line.
