Question

how does inertia function in each of illustrations below?
a inertia causes the car and the object in orbit to accelerate.
b inertia causes the car to stop, and it causes the object to turn back toward the earth.
c inertia causes the mans body to move forward when he puts on the brake and it causes the object to keep moving in orbit around earth.
d inertia causes the seat belt to tighten around the mans body, and it maintains a constant pull on the object in orbit around earth.

Explanation:

La inercia es la tendencia de un cuerpo a resistir cambios en su estado de movimiento. Cuando se frena un automóvil, el cuerpo del conductor tiende a continuar moviéndose hacia adelante debido a la inercia. Un objeto en órbita alrededor de la Tierra continúa en movimiento debido a su inercia y la interacción con la gravedad.

Answer:

C. Inercia causes the man's body to move forward when he puts on the brake and it causes the object to keep moving in orbit around Earth.
