What else can I help you with?
Why do you fall forward when a car brakes suddenly?
Because you are decelerating sharply
What is an example of a sentence using the word 'inertia'?
'The car's inertia carried it forward several feet after the driver pushed the brakes.' 'His inertia launched him forward after reaching the base of the hill.'
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 balloon go to the front of the car or the back of the car when brakes are pressed?
When brakes are pressed, a balloon inside a car will move toward the back of the car. This occurs because of inertia; as the car decelerates, the balloon continues to move forward relative to the car's new position. The air inside the car pushes the balloon back, creating the effect of it moving toward the rear.
What is Newton's First Law of MotionGive the example of the law to help illustrate your point?
If you are in a fast moving car and the brakes are applied suddenly and hard, your body will continue moving in the forward direction.
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.
Why do you lunge forward when your car suddenly comes to a halt?
Inertia
What could happen to its passengers if a car suddenly stops?
If all the passengers are properly buckled in and the car brakes suddenly to a stop, someone may spill their coffee.
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.
Give you an example in which acceleration is against the direction of motion?
When a car is moving forward and the driver suddenly applies the brakes to stop, the car's acceleration is against the direction of motion. This is because the acceleration due to braking acts in the opposite direction of the car's velocity, causing it to slow down.
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.
