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 an intertial frame of reference?
Assuming you mean "inertial" frame of reference... it is any point of observation from which other objects appear to be still or in motion relative to you. For example... On an airplane flying at 35,000 feet. All the other passengers appear to you to be sitting in their seats or walking down the aisle at a leisurely pace... If you tossed a ball in the air, it would appear to go straight up and fall back into your hand... To someone on the ground, you and all your fellow passengers seem to be hurtling thru the sky at 500 mph. And the path the ball follows is not straight up or down. You and your fellow passengers share the same inertial frame of reference. In a similar sense, the earth under your feet appears to be still and all the objects seem to move or not move in relation to the still earth. In fact the earth is spinning... beyond that it is revolving around the sun, beyond that the entire solar system is moving in a galaxy that is, itself spinning, and the entire galaxy is also moving thru a universe that is expanding... Each of these are other inertial frames of reference. Einstein's theory of relativity states that none of these frames of reference is preferred... and that all observations, including those relating to time, dimension and speed, are entirely relative to one's inertial frame of reference. Thus different observers in different frames of reference perceive things differently. because even time varies with frame of reference, this renders such concepts as simultaneity specious. If time itself passes at different rates for different observers, then no two events can actually be said to happen at the same time.
Give you 5 examples of Inertia?
We are subject to the concept of inertia and experience such an idea every single day. Here are some examples. 1. Suddenly accelerating during a car ride makes the driver and the riders feel pushed up against their seats. Inertia explains this phenomenon quite clearly. 2. Turning around a corner while driving makes the driver and the riders move quite counter-intuitively. For example, if a car turns right, every person in the car is pushed to left and vice versa; inertia explains this phenomenon. 3. We usually shake the bottle of ketchup or hit it in order to get that last bit of ketchup remaining in the bottle. We do both of these things to move the ketchup as the remaining bit of ketchup is subject to the idea of inertia when shaken or hit. 4. After sprinting for a while, you must apply a backward force in order to stop. Yet if you do not apply this backward force, you will continue moving forward. If you stop running suddenly, you will for a second move at the speed at which you were running before. Inertia helps to explain this phenomenon. 5. If a bus suddenly stops and you aren't holding onto a support, you will be pushed to the front of the bus. Your mass and the concept of inertia helps to explain such a phenomenon.

Why the skier moves but Earth does not seem to?
It is because the skier (when stationary) is moving at the same speed as the Earth's rotation. The same effect is felt by passengers on a bus. When the bus suddenly starts off, the passengers are thrust back into their seats. When the bus suddenly stops, the passengers are thrust forwards in their seats. But, for most of the journey, when the bus is travelling at a steady speed, the passengers can relax in their seats and enjoy the journey.

Why do army aircraft seats face backwoods?
Backward seats are proven to be less damaging to a person in an aircraft accident. Your forward momentum is reduced by, at the minimum, 26g. Standard airplanes don't have backward seats because the passengers want to be able to see what's ahead of them. Backward seats do actually save lives.
