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 you fall forward when a car brakes suddenly?
Because you are decelerating sharply
When a bus suddenly stop why passenger move forward?
this is because of the law of inertia
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 do you move forward when your car brakes suddenly?
Inertia
What is the reason for reverse saturation current?
its simple.reverse saturation current is because of the flow of minority carriers across the junction when the bias is changed suddenly from forward to reverse.this is why it doesnt depend on forward bias
Why do you lunge forward when your car suddenly comes to a halt?
Inertia
Why does an athlete take a longer jump if he comes running from a distance than when he jumps suddenly from the take -off line?
Because he already has forward momentum.
A seat belt helps you when your car stops suddenly by providing?
The seat belt makes an balance forward force because when the car stops you fall forward and the seat belt makes it so the force in your body stays balanced. So it becomes an balanced forward force.
Can gerbils do forward roles?
yes my gerbil was grooming it self and suddenly he did one
When a person is riding a bicycle and suddenly apply the front brake the back part of the bicycle raises why?
Because of inertia. Stuff that is moving wants to keep moving. When the bike can't go forward, it'll try to topple forward instead.
Does a rider fall forward when his horse stops suddenly?
True ... it's called inertia.
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...
