A book is sitting on the dashboard of a car that is stopped at a traffic light. As the car starts to move forward the book slides backward off the dashboard. Use the term inertia to explain what happe?

How can explain inertia governor?
Centrifugal governors respond to angular velocity. Inertia governors respond to angular acceleration.
How is inertias involved in newtons first law of motion?
that an object at rest will remain at rest Inertia explain many common events. For example, if you are in a car that stops suddenly,inertia causes you to continue moving forward
How can you apply law of inertia in your daily lives?
If you are driving/riding in a car at 40 mph, you are moving along with the car at 40mph also. Due to inertia, you will continue to move at 40 mph unless another force acts upon you, such as your seat belt. Say the car stops moving- you won't due to inertia, but the seat belt will stop you because it is another force.
When a moving bus suddenly stop the passenger jerking forward on which law defined here?
The law of 'Inertia'.
Why planets do not collide with each other although there is strong gravitational force between them?
Inertia keeps them moving forward.
Explain how inertia affects the passengers when a bus starts suddenly?
Inertia affects passengers on a bus when it starts suddenly by giving them a jolt and causing the passengers to move forward or backward depending on the buses position.
You are moving fast on a skateboard when your wheel gets stuck in a crack on the sidewalk using the term inertia explain what happens?
Inertia keeps you moving forward.
How does inertia explain why seatbelts are important in a car crash?
In a car accident your body has a certain amount of momentum and it wants to keep moving forward. The seat-belts slow the body down enough so they don't hit the wind-shield or dashboard etc.
What exerts the force that pushes you forward when you walk?
Your feet are pushing backward against the floor, where friction prevents that backward motion and exerts an equal force that pushes you forward. If the floor were not fixed in place, it would move backward instead and you would stay in the same place. If friction did not exist, your foot would merely slide backward across the floor, and again you would stay in the same place.
What does inertia do?
Inertia is the resistance of an object to change it state of rest or motion. when you are standing in a moving bus and it suddenly stops you tend to fall backward. This is due to inertia of motion. Body resists the change in motion due to which u fall backward. so inertia exactly opposes or resists your change in motion.
How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seat belt during a collision?
In physics, inertia means that though the car is brought to a sudden stop, the person inside will continue in a forward motion. A seat belt would restrain the person's forward movement and prevent the person being injured by the dashboard, or by being thrown through the windscreen. Air-bags are used in modern cars to also cushion against the effect of inertia.
Why can inertia hurt you?
Inertia can hurt you, because it is the force of moving forward. For example, if you throw a ball, inertia "pushes" the ball forward, and could hit the person you threw it too!
What is an example of a sentence using the word 'inertia'?
'The car's inertia carried it forward several feet after the driver pushed the brakes.' 'His inertia launched him forward after reaching the base of the hill.'
Passangers in a car tend to fall forward when the driver suddenly hits the brakes because the passangers have what and what deos this mean?
The answer, in short, is INERTIA. Inertia is resistance to changes in motion, and is proportional to mass. Newton's 1st Law of Motion tells us that objects in motion will remain in motion (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. In the example given, the passengers (objects) pitch forward when the driver hits the brakes in a forward-moving car (providing the external force) because their bodies possess inertia separate from the inertia of the moving car. The car slows down due to the braking, but the passengers' separate inertia(s) will cause them to keep moving forward until restrained by an outside force (seatbelt, dashboard, windshield, etc.) Larger, heavier passengers will pitch forward with more force (inertia is proportional to mass, remember?).
Why do passengers in a bus tend to fall backward if it starts suddenly?
It's because of inertia. You are not falling backward technically, rather the bus' acceleration is moving it forward however your inertia is stopping you from moving. So the bus is moving forward while you remain still. It is like the trick when someone pulls a cloth from under a bowl of water very quickly. The cloth comes away cleanly and the bowl does not budge. By the way inertia is the resistance an object (here the object is the passenger in the bus) has to having its state of motion change (that is in this case the passengers are resisting changing their movement from being still to actually moving).
Explain why one should roll forward after landing when one jump side ways from a moving train?
If you were to jump sideways from a train (not that it would be smart), you should roll forward because of inertia which is an objects tendency to resist a change in motion. Since the train is moving forward and you are in it you technically are moving with the train. To slow yourself and not get hurt you must work with inertia.
Why are you pressed backward against the seat when your car rapidly accelerates?
Inertia explains the feeling of getting pushed back in your car seat as the car begins to accelerate because as the car accelerates your body want to resist the forward motion the car is 'pulling' you in. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion.
