yes they do. this is due to momentum. same way as when you throw a ball. it hits the ground and keeps rolling forward.

Can balance force bring about any change in state of motion?

Force is an external agent or influence, which changes or tends to changethestate of rest or state of uniform motion of a body in astraight line. Question 2. Back to Top. Question: What are balanced and unbalanced forces? ...(d) A passenger jumping out of a moving bus falls forward if he does not run forward ...


Why is it when you stub your toe you fall forward?

This can be explained with Newton's First Law of motion, Inertia. An object in motion tends to stay in motion until a force acts on it. When you are walking, your entire body is moving forward. But if your toe hits an object, only it will stop. So the rest of your body will continue moving forward until you stop yourself. (hopefully before you hit the ground)


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...

Why do you fall i the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest?

because the bus still moving its uniform motion suddenly the bus applies brakes the bus stop at rest so we fall forward due to inertia and the bus was its rest suddenly the bus starts its accelerates so we fall backwards due to inertia


Why do passengers in a car fly forward when the car comes to a sudden stop?

When the car vis moving u are at the same pace with but a sudden brake stops the motion of the car but not yours An object in motion tends to stay in motion.


When a running car stops suddenly the passengers tends to lean forward because of?

This happens because an object in motion tends to stay in motion


Why a person riding a bicycle fly forward off when hitting a rock explain on the basis of newton's first law?

Okay, so Newton's First Law of Motion states: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Okay, so with that in mind, a cyclist is moving forward. The rock is large enough to stop the bicycle. However, the cyclist not being attached to the bicycle, will tend to stay in motion, lauching said cyclist over the handlebars.


An object is kept in orbit?

The object is moving forward at high speed and tends to travel in a straight line. But the gravitational pull of the Sun causes it to accelerate towards the Sun. The combined effect is that the object's path bends sideways, continuously.
