Best Answer

your muscles get use to the position they are in and they try to stay in the same place

in other words the stress is so built up that when you let go your arms automatically rise or stay afloat

How are balance forces and unbalanced forces different?

When the forces are balanced, there is no acceleration (Ex: Anything stationary or anything with uniform motion). Unbalanced forces ALWAYS cause acceleration.


Do all action-reaction forces produce motion?

Some do and some don't. In the case of someone sitting on a chair, they exert a downward force on the chair due to their weight. The chair exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on them but, since this upward force acting on the person is equal to their weight, the net force is zero and the person does not accelerate. However, consider now if the person pushed themselves up off the chair with their hands. They are now exerting an additional force on the chair with their arms along with the force due to their weight. The chair will exert a reaction force on the person that is equal and opposite to the combined downward force due to the person's weight and their arms pushing. Since it is equal to the weight plus the pushing force of the arms, it will be greater than the downward force on the person due to their weight and a net upward force will be produced, accelerating the person upwards.


Why can you exert greater force on the pedals of bicycle if you pull up on the handlebars?

because the muscles in your arms pulling on the handle bars causes an equal and opposite reaction from the bars acting on your arms in a direction toward the bike. this force counteracts some of the upward force from the equal and opposite reaction from the pedals due to you pushing down with your feet. in other words, it allows you to counter some of the force by involving muscle from your arm in the force to hold you down to the bike
