This is the nature of things, they stay still or keep moving in the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force.

When a car stops suddenly the passengers tend to move forward relative to their seats Why?
When car was moving, passengers were also moving. When car suddenly stops, the moving passengers try to maintain their state of forward motion because of their inertia. so they move forward relative to their seats...
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy in a ven diagram?
Potential energy is energy a body has due to its position. Kinetic energy is energy a body has due to its motion.
What energy is kinetic energy?
Energy gained by a body due to its motion is called Kinetic energy
Is energy due to motion called palatial energy?
Energy due to motion is called kinetic energy.
Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
Why will a spinning top not stay in motion forever?
It tends to lose rotational energy due to friction.
How is newtons law and earthquakes related?
Newton's law of inertia applies: A body in motion tends to stay in motion, and a body at rest tends to stay at rest. This applies to earthquakes because a building or other large, fixed object is "at rest" and is not designed to be in motion. When the land vibrates and moves under a building due to an earthquake, the building has the contravening forces of inertia (the at-rest building tends to try to stay at rest) versus the ground under the building moving, and the ground doesn't play nice by moving smoothly and continuously in one direction. If it were not for inertia, the building and its contents (including people!) would simply move with the ground, and neither the building nor its contents would suffer damage.
Why does your upper body want to keep moving when you stop running suddenly?
Due to Newton's first law of motion, also known the law of inertia. The first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a net external force.
When a car stops suddenly the passengers tend to move forward relative to their seats Why?
When car was moving, passengers were also moving. When car suddenly stops, the moving passengers try to maintain their state of forward motion because of their inertia. so they move forward relative to their seats...
When a person is shivering due to cold weather the body tends to maintain?
yes.by increasing the metabolic rate of the body
What is the energy of a moving object due to its motion?
Energy related to motion is called "kinetic energy".
What are examples of forces and motion?
One is, if you kick a ball it rolls or flies. Kicking the ball puts your foot's force on the ball and when it leaves, it's in motion. Ice skating ia another example. Force is the agent which changes or tends to change the state of body. For example, the body covers distances or changes its position due to some external force applied on it. Hence it has been said that the force is agent which changes or tries to change the position of the body. Motion is said to be done if a body changes its position with respect to its surrounding. if we see a body moving, we will naturally say that this is in motion. The fact is that, we said that the body is in motion because we see it changing its position with respect to its surrounding.
How is friction responsible for activities like walking?
It is due to friction of your feet with the ground only, that you are able to walk. It is due to force of friction only that your car stops. Other wise as per the Newton's law of motion, the mass in motion continues to be in motion and the mass, which is stable continues to be stable. Here in walking you use energy in your body. Friction is necessary to start walking, to continue the walking. Friction is only responsible for that you do not stay in motion.
What is kinetic energy'?
Energy gained by a body due to its motion is called Kinetic energy
Why is a body in a straight line to remain moving in a straight line?
It is due to its inertia of motion
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy in a ven diagram?
Potential energy is energy a body has due to its position. Kinetic energy is energy a body has due to its motion.
How a body gets rotational and linear motions in space?
Linear motion occurs when a force acts through the center of gravity of a body. Rotational motion arises due to a force applied anywhere else on the body.
