Write a hypothesis for part i of the lab, which is about the effect on an object being carried by a car, when the car experiences a sudden impact. use the format of "if . . then . . because . . ” and be sure to answer the lesson question "how can newton's laws be experimentally verified? ” specific to newton’s first law.

If an object is in motion, then the object will stay in motion because the object has inertia

Explanation:

The car will experience a sudden impact when it tends to change its state of motion.

If a moving car is applied with emergency brake, then the car will experience a sudden impact in its motion due to which it stops immediately. This happens because of inertia.

As per the law of inertia or Newton's first law of motion, "if an object is in state of motion, then it will continue to be in state of motion until any external force is being applied on it or vice-versa".

Here in the given problem, the car is in the state of linear motion and due to application of brakes, the state of motion of car changes immediately and it comes to rest. This immediate stopping resembles the sudden impact on car due to inertia of motion.

Thus, we can conclude that the car will experience a sudden impact when it tends to change its state of motion.
