If only an external force can change the state of motion of CM of a body then how does the internal force of the brakes bring bicycle to rest?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how the internal force of the brakes can bring a bicycle to rest, we need to analyze the forces acting on the bicycle and the concept of the center of mass (CM). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Center of Mass (CM)**: - The center of mass of a body is the point where the mass of the body is concentrated. The motion of the center of mass is influenced by external forces. 2. **Identifying Forces on the Bicycle**: ...
