In summary, Newtonian Physics, specifically the laws of motion and gravity, play a crucial role in the design and functionality of motorbikes. These laws explain how forces and motion interact, allowing engineers to understand and optimize the performance of motorbikes. The principles of inertia, acceleration, and friction are also integral to the operation of motorbikes, allowing riders to control their speed and maneuverability. Furthermore, the concept of center of mass is crucial in maintaining balance and stability while riding. Overall, the connection between Newtonian Physics and motorbikes highlights the importance of understanding and applying scientific principles in the world of transportation.

An old man (70) that has interest in and frequently uses Newtonian Physics in my work.
I have many occasions to push the limits of my basic knowledge.
Folks here seem way smarter than I, so . . .
