What we have here is a basic law of physics. "Things in motion tend to stay in motion". When you apply the brakes you apply a dragging force on the car and not the occupants. Thus the car loses momentum quicker than the people moving them forward. Hope this helps!!!

Inertia
The principle of inertia is one of the fundamental laws of classical physics which are used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces. The concept of inertia is today most commonly defined using Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion, which states:

Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight ahead, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed. [Cohen & Whitman 1999 translation]

Its called inertia. A body in motion will remain in motion, unless acted on by an outside force, like a seat belt or a windshield. Wear your seatbelt.

All bodies in the vehicle still have momentum. Just be cause the vehicle stops, doesn't mean you stop, so you lurch forward

because the veichle slows down but the people continue to move at the same speed
