Question

an automobile you are riding in suddenly stops, but you continue to go forward.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Newton's 1st Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In the case of the automobile suddenly stopping, the person (initially in motion with the car) continues moving forward because there is no immediate force (other than seat - belt or impact) to stop their motion, which is in line with Newton's 1st Law. Newton's 2nd Law is about \(F = ma\) (force, mass, acceleration relationship) and Newton's 3rd Law is about action - reaction pairs.
