Inertia.

A body, once set in motion wants to maintain that motion, until acted upon by another force.

Why do you jolt forward when you're car stops?

A force called inertia.


Suppose you are riding as a passenger in a car when the car stops suddenly What pushes you forward?

Force of Inertia


Why is a car seat belt important?

It keeps you from moving forward if the car is hit or stops suddenly.


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.


Does a car accident involve inertia?

yes it does according to the law of physics if the vehicle is in motion when the car stops suddenly, you will fling forward.


Why do you fall farward in the car when the car stops?

It is the law of inertia bringing you forward while the car stops, the law of inertia states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion.


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...


When does a car go exactly as fast as a train?

when the car stops at the traffic lights and the train stops at the station.


What are 3 situations that would explain the law of inertia?

When a car accelerates. Your body wants to stay stationary, therefore when the car starts accelerating you are pushed into your seat until the car stays at a constant speed and you catch up to the speed.When a car brakes. Your body wants to keep moving forward as it was before decelerating began, you move forward but the friction between you and the seat stops you from falling off.When a car turns. Your body wants to keep going forward in a straight line but turning makes you go in a different direction and you lean.


How do you write essay about Newton's laws of motion to car safety equipment?

You could write that they helped people to understand the concepts of it and so they decided that if a car gets hit straight on the car will want to move forward but won't so then that force will cause you to fly forward and so with the car safety equipment the force won't pull you forward cause you will have a seat belt on that stops you from flying forward at the speed of the impact.


The car will only go in reverse and will not drive forward What do you think it is?

truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
