you r riding in a car. the driver suddenly applies the brakes and you pushed forward. who pushed u forward????

Question

dont blame on inertia. inertia is just a property of body some force must have been there to push u forward. which we call pseudo force & think they are hypothetical & do not exist . but is it real?? if not then which force pushed u forward????

Answer 1

we sit inside a car and are travelling at an uniform speed. the centre of momentum of our body is concentrated towards a particular point in the seat we occupy inside the car. our entire body weight is concentrated on this point. while we take small turns towards left or right this weight is shifted to either sides,because of the shift of the car as a whole shifts towards the directions as is the carseat ,so we are adjusting our position to remain in equilibrium position. when we come to a sudden stop the body weight is shifting towards the front because of our centre of momentum point on the car seat is pushed forward towards the direction of motion. there isw also no friction coefficent in the smooth car seat. if we have a metallic seat with stable position to hold our body trunk exac tly in one firm position
we will not be pushed to the front after a sudden brake.

Answer 2

It is indeed inertia force which pushed u forward when the car brake suddenly. Inertia is a force of the body due to its resistance to change.

Answer 3

I believe it is inertia because inertia is the property of matter to resist any change in motion, so when you are riding in a car and you stop suddenly, your body wants to keep moving so you get pushed forward due to inertia.

Answer 4

The force that pushed you forward was the engine of the vehicle, which pushed the seat you were sitting on, which then pushed you.

The engine, the seat, and you were happily cruising along at x kilometers per hour. The brakes were applied, causing the engine and the seat to decelerate to something less than x miles an hour. Since you (unlike the seat and the engine) are not firmly attached to the brakes, you move forward relative to them. No further pushing is being done, it was done before the brakes were applied.

Answer 5

inertia coz inertia is the property of mass to resist change in motion. which is why when a train suddenly starts your body is pushed backwards , it is the same when brakes are suddenly applied in the car only difference is that you are pushed forward.

Answer 6

the force pushing you forward was applied long ago when the car accelerated. You felt the seat pushing into you a bit perhaps. Soon you were moving at the same velocity as the car. When it stopped suddenly you didn't stop as quickly... you kept moving forward. Nothing pushed you forward... something pushed the car back when both you and the car were already moving forward.

Answer 7

The force that pushed you forward was the horsepower from the car's engine. When the driver applied the brakes, the car slowed down but you kept moving. So, technically speaking, the engine pushed you forward.

Answer 8

You weren't pushed forward. Everything around you slowed down relative to your velocity, creating the illusion that you were pushed forward.

The tendancy to remain at a given velocity is referred to as inertia. An object at rest or in motion will stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

Answer 9

The car pushed you forward.
When the car brakes, you're not feeling a push in the back, you're feeling the pressure, perhaps on your chest from the seatbelt, from the car slowing down and forcing you to slow down with it.

You were pushed when the car accelerated.

Answer 10

U got it all wrong. No one pushes you forward. While traveling in a car which is going in a constant speed, your body also tends to feel the movement. When the brakes are applied, that tendency is abruptly stopped. The result? You tend to fall forward. No one's pushing you at the back, it is just your conception of speed and the stoppage of it.
