Mrs. Horton is standing up on a subway train as its in motion, the train suddenly stops and Mrs. Horton continues moving forward. Which law is this an example of?

1st Law

3rd Law

2nd Law

Answer 1

This is an example of Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In this case, Mrs. Horton was in motion on the train and continued to move forward when the train suddenly stopped because of her inertia.
