Why do you tend to tilt forward in a car that suddenly slow down?

Newtons laws of motion claim that "An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force, while an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by another force" (paraphrasing).
In a car, your body is moving forward a nice 60 miles an hour (let's say). When the car rapidly slows down, your body is still moving at 60 miles an hour, while the car is going progressively slower than 60 miles an hour. Because your body is moving faster than the car, you tend to move toward the front of the car. Your seatbelt is what stops this motion (your seatbelt is the "other force").
This is another reason seatbelts are so important.

Why is it that you tend to move forward when you suddenly stops from running?
Inertia. the laws of mass dictate that an object in motion tends to continue doing so. Basically imagine that when you are running you are throwing yourself forward and when you stop you are trying to catch yourself.
When you are inside a bus or jeepney what do you experience when the vehicle starts from rest?
1.Why do you tend to move backward when a bus suddenly starts moving from rest?Answer: The inertia at rest of your body tends to resist the bus' motion.2. Why do you tend to move forward when a traveling bus suddenly stops?Answer: The inertia in motion of your body keeps you to continue moving even ifthe bus has already stopped
Which force tend to slow an object in motion?
Friction and/or Gravity
Why do passengers in a bus tend to fall backward when it starts suddenly?
due to sudden change in gravity ..imbalances ..
Do all moving objects have a natural tendency to slow down and stop?
No. All objects tend to adhere to their current speed (magnitude and direction), it will only change when a force is being applied on said object.
What does friction have to do with rockets?
Among other things, friction will tend to slow the rockets down.
What condition will tend to prevent an object from moving?
it is force which can slow down or stop 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...
Where mules or horses faster at pulling barge?
It really depended on the individual animal. Mules tend to be more surefooted than a horse , but that can also slow them down a bit, while a horse may slip and have to slow down also.

Why has the iOS 4 update to the iphone 3 GS worsened its functions?
Sadly you cannot downgrade to an earlier iOS version. iOS updates to older devices should always tend to slow them down. If you think iOS 4 will slow down a device, iOS 5 makes the keyboard too slow to type on on my iPod Touch.
If caterpillars are dying do they stay still or move slow?
Because a caterpillar moves in a rippling fashion. It contracts the muscles in its rear segments, pushing blood into the forward segments, which lengthens the front part of the body. The legs hold onto the forward position and then the front muscles contract, pulling the rear segment forward.
What are the benefits of lithium ion batteries to other types of batteries?
Lithium Ion batteries charge must faster than NiCads, tend to hold a charge longer, work at full power until they suddenly and completely drop off (rather than the slow run-down of NiCads), and do not from "dendrites" internally over time, as NiCads do, which is the end of their life.
