Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. When you hit the brakes while driving, your body wants to continue moving forward due to its inertia. This is because an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force (Newton's first law of motion). The deceleration caused by the brakes acts as that external force, slowing down your car. However, your body wants to continue moving forward at the original speed due to inertia, resulting in the feeling of being pushed forward before the seatbelt stops your motion. So, in this scenario, your body moving forward is an example of inertia.
