Question
100%
A motorcyclist launches his bike off a jump and sails through the air as shown in the image.
The rider realizes the front of the bike is too low compared to the rear of bike for a smooth
landing. Which of the following actions would be most effective at rotating the bike
counterclockwise, raising the front wheel relative to the rear?
twisting the throttle to increase the rotational speed of the rear wheel
leaning backward on the bike
hitting the brakes to slow the rotation of the wheels
none of these would help as there is no net external torque on the system
leaning forward on the bike
