Question
- people sitting in a moving vehicle experience a push when the vehicle stops. this is due to: gravity acceleration inertia movement
Brief Explanations
According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion tends to stay in motion. When the vehicle stops, the people inside (due to inertia) continue moving forward, creating a "push" sensation. Gravity acts downward, acceleration is a change in velocity (not the direct cause here), and "movement" is too vague. Inertia specifically explains this tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.
