Question

Gina is driving her car down the street. She has a teddy bear sitting on the back seat. A dog runs in front of Gina's car, so she quickly applies the brakes. The force of the brakes causes the car to stop, but the teddy bear continues to move forward until it hits the car's dashboard.

The teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because

Answer 1

1.) the teddy bear was never moving in the first place
2.) when Gina hit the break the teddy bear will go forward and it’s much lighter and can have more air time than a two thousand pound car

Answer 2

It’s lighter so it will be floppier than a real human body and that would be why it’s caused.
