Why does stopping a vehicle you’re in cause you to jerk forward, even though motion is supposed to be relative (and the vehicle isn’t moving from your “physics” perspective)?
In: Physics
You are not the car. You are an object in the car. When the car stops, the objects do not.
That’s a simple explanation, but a simple problem. Relative motion doesn’t play into anything here. The car and the objects are separate entities.
