Bikash T. Magar • asked a question

Why it is much more difficult to balance yourself on a bicycle that is at rest than on one that is rolling?

Balance on a bicycle is a matter of constantly correcting against falls, and it's easier when the speed is higher because the inertia of moving forward overcomes the need for corrective actions.

Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
