A) Gravitational force
B) Inertia of motion
C) Law of conservation of mass
D) Both B & C

Answered by admin @


answer : option (B) inertia of motion.

explanation : when a running car stops suddenly, the passenger tends to lean forward because of inertia of motion.

according to Newton's 1st law of motion, every bodies have nature to maintain inertia of rest or motion until there is no net force applied on that body. here car is running. so, car has nature to maintain its motion. now when we apply break or stop it suddenly, car goes to stop but passenger of car tends to lean forward due to inertia of motion.

hence, option (B) is correct.
