Explanation: When you trip, your foot comes to a stop due to an unbalanced force. This force could be caused by various factors, such as uneven ground or an obstruction. However, the rest of your body continues moving forward due to inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in its state of motion. When your foot suddenly stops, your body's momentum keeps it moving forward until another force acts upon it to stop or change its motion. In this case, the unbalanced force only affects your foot, not the rest of your body.
