Brief Explanations
Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. When a car suddenly stops, the passenger's body, due to inertia, wants to continue moving forward as it was before the stop.
