It is easier to stop a bicycle than a car with the same speed because the bicycle has less mass and momentum compared to the car. The car's greater mass and momentum make it harder to stop quickly. The car's brakes also have to work against greater inertia, requiring more force and distance to stop.
The transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move is called work. Work is a quantity of energy given in the unit of Joules. The mathematical description of work is the product of the force and the distance for which it was applied.
The transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move in the direction of the force is called work. Work is calculated as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied in the direction of motion.

A lever is a simple machine that makes work easier by allowing you to lift or move objects with less force.
Bicycle brakes are usually levers
It's strong enough, cheap enough and easy enough to work with.

Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. This is the part of the brake system that does the actual work of stopping the car.The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. Bicycle brakes have a caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the wheel. In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable. Friction between the pads and the disc slows the disc down.Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
Rim brakes don't work well in the rain, because the rims get slippery when wet. But not all hand brakes are rim brakes. A hand activated drum brake will work just as well in the wet as in the dry.
The two main brake types on a bicycle are rim brakes and disc brakes. Rim brakes work by clamping brake pads against the wheel rim, while disc brakes use calipers to grip a rotor attached to the wheel hub. Each type has its own advantages and considerations in terms of performance and maintenance.
Possible to stick them on - yes, on some bicycles. Flat bar bicycles have a grip area diameter of 22.2 mm (7/8") which I believe is the same that motorcycles use. Getting them to work well with bicycle brakes - unlikely. Hydraulic MC brakes push a lot more fluid than bicycle hydros. For cable, the pull / leverage is unlikely to play well with what bicycle brakes expect.

There are several force transitions going on in the linkage, but in the actual brake you are using friction to turn speed into heat.The most important one is friction, but apart from that there's a lot of mucking about with mechanics in order to translate the motion by the hand at the lever into something capable of slowing down a wheel.There are several forces needed to make a bicycle brake work IRL. But I assume the one you're asking about is FRICTION.
Because friction stops momentum of force from moving the bike
When a force makes an object move, work is done.
