The book is experiencing inertia; a state which resists change in motion. This is represented by Newton's first law of motion which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore the book in the car continues to move forward until it is acting on by an external force such as the applied force of something in the book's path of motion.

When a driver applies brakes quickly what best explains why a book on the seat keep moving forward?

When a driver applies the brakes quickly, inertia causes the book to continue moving forward momentarily before friction and the force of deceleration from the car's brakes eventually bring it to a stop. The sudden stoppage of the car transfers inertia to the book, causing it to move forward until external forces act upon it.


Does a bottle thrown from a speeding car continue to move forward or instantly fall to the ground?

The bottle will continue to move forward due to inertia even after being thrown from a speeding car. It will follow a curved trajectory due to the combination of its forward speed and the downward pull of gravity.


When a car stop why are you tending to move forward?

It is due to inertiaInertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.


In a collision do occupants move away from the point of impact not toward?

In a collision, occupants tend to move towards the point of impact due to inertia. The impact causes the vehicle to abruptly decelerate, while inertia causes occupants to continue moving forward until another force like a seatbelt or airbag stops their motion.


When a bus suddenly stop why passenger move forward?

When a bus suddenly stops, the inertia of the passengers causes them to continue moving forward until another force (like friction or a seatbelt) slows them down. This phenomenon is known as inertia, where an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

What is the force that says that an object that is moving forward will continue to move forward unless another force stops it?

It is the force of inertia.


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.


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...


Another word for go?

When riding your skateboard you crash into a curb the skateboard stops and you continue moving forward. Which law of motion is being described in this scenario?

It is his First Law. Your body [tries to] continues to move in a straight line.
