Inertia.

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

What stops a car from moving forward or backward


If you were in a bumper car that stops when it hit another car would you continue to move forward Why or why not?

No, I would not continue to move forward if the bumper car stops upon hitting another car. The design of the bumper car is such that it comes to a halt upon impact, preventing any forward motion. Additionally, the laws of physics dictate that once the car stops, inertia would not carry it forward unless an external force acted upon it.


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.


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...


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.


If your in a car that stops suddenly your body keeps moving because it has?

Inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. When a car stops suddenly, your body continues to move forward due to its inertia until an external force, such as the seatbelt or airbag, stops it.


When you are in a car the stops suddenly and when your body keeps moving what is that called?

That is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, which can cause your body to keep moving forward when the car stops suddenly.
