Question

While riding on I-26 towards Columbia, your mother slams on the brakes, to avoid hitting the car in front of her. Both of your bodies lean forward. Thankfully you are wearing your seatbelts. Which of Newton’s laws explains why this happens?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the first law of motion would cause this to happen.

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.  So if a car is moving it won't stop unless you hit something or you might push the brakes.
