    Question

    When a passenger in a moving bus is suddenly thrown

    forward when the bus stops, this is explained by:
    A Newton's First Law of Motion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Newton's Second Law of Motion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Newton's Third Law of Motion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Principle of Conservation of Momentum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This phenomenon is explained by Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia. It states that an object in motion will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. When the bus stops suddenly, the passenger's body tends to remain in motion, causing them to be thrown forward.
