When a car stops suddenly and a passenger falls forward what law of motion is demonstrated?
The Law of Inertia states that an object in motion remains in motion and an object at rest remains at rest unless and unbalanced, outside force acts upon that object. Because the passengers are "attached" to the bus, they have the same inertia as the bus. But because the passengers are technically seperated, they have their own inertia. So when the bus is slowing down to a stop, the passengers inertia are to keep moving forward. As the bus moves back, the passengers want to keep moving forward. Which is why they lurch forward as the bus decelerates.
