29 which of newtons laws explains why a passenger in a car will fly forward during a sudden stop? newtons first law of motion newtons third law of motion newtons law of universal gravitation newtons second law of motion
Newton's first law (law of inertia) states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force. When the car suddenly stops (external force on the car), the passenger (still in motion due to inertia) flies forward. Newton's third law is about action - reaction pairs. The law of universal gravitation is about gravitational attraction. The second law is \(F = ma\). So, it's the first law.
