Question

if you are driving 50mph on the highway and you come to a sudden stop, your body flies forward, still in motion— this is because of newton’s ___ law
2nd
1st
3rd

Explanation:

Newton's 1st law (Law of Inertia) states that an object in motion stays in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. When the car suddenly stops, the body (in motion at 50 mph) tends to stay in motion, causing it to fly forward, which matches the 1st law.

Answer:

1st (Newton's 1st law, also known as the law of inertia, explains that an object in motion will remain in motion with constant velocity unless a net external force acts on it. When the car stops suddenly, the body continues its state of motion, leading to the forward movement, which is due to Newton's 1st law.)
