Why are passengers thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stop?
Passengers are thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stops due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, so when the vehicle stops suddenly, the passengers continue moving forward until they are stopped by the seat belt or another object.
If A pick up truck with only a ball in the back is moving forward and suddenly comes to a stop what would the ball do?
The ball would continue moving forward due to inertia, since it wants to keep moving at a constant speed. When the truck suddenly stops, the ball will keep moving forward until it hits the front side of the truck or another object in the truck bed.
Can an object continue to move if there is no force on it in the direction in which its moving?
Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.
What force can start a moving object?
An external force, such as a push or a pull, can start a moving object by overcoming its inertia and setting it in motion. Once the object is in motion, it will continue moving until acted upon by another force.
If you are riding on a train that speeds past another train moving in the same direction on an adjacent track it appears that the other train is moving backward. why?
This is an example of the concept of relative motion. When two objects are moving in the same direction at different speeds, the faster object appears to be moving forward relative to the slower object. This creates the illusion that the slower object is moving backward when it is actually moving forward at a slower pace.
Would it be correct to say that inertia causes moving object to continue moving?
Yes, it is correct to say that inertia causes a moving object to continue moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it will continue moving unless acted upon by an external force.
What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?
If no net force acts on an object, the object will continue in its current state of motion. This means that if it is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if it is moving at a constant velocity, it will continue moving at that velocity.
Which is the property causes a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it?
The property of inertia causes a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, so the wagon will keep moving forward until an external force, like friction or another object blocking its path, stops it.
What is the tendency called of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place?
Inertia
What effect do forces have on a moving object?
Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.
What opposes the motion of one object moving past another?
Friction opposes the motion of one object moving past another. Objects at rest remain at rest and objects traveling at a steady rate in a straight line continue that way until a force acts on them.
What is another word for Newton's first law?
Newton's First Law states that an object that is moving has the tendency to continue moving at the same speed; if it is at rest, the tendency is for the object to remain at rest. This law is also known as the law of inertia.
