Question

When jogging outside you accidently bump into a curb. Your feet stop but your body continues to move forward and you end up on the ground. Which law of motion is being described in this scenario?

Law of Universal Gravitation

Newton’s First Law of Motion

Law of Conservation of Energy

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Answer 1

newtons first law of motion
object in motion stays in motion, object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon an unbalanced force

Answer 2

Newton’s First Law of Motion

Step-by-step explanation:

When jogging outside you accidentally bump into a curb. Your feet stop but your body continues to move forward and you end up on the ground. Newton's first law of motion is described in this scenario. This is also known as law of inertia.

According to this law, an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion until and unless and external force acts on it. In this case, feet stops and body of the person continues to move forward.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " Newton’s First Law of Motion ".
