Why do you fall forward when you stub your toe on a chair? Explain in terms.

Sagot :

Answer & Explanation:

This can be explained with Newton's first law, Inertia - if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.  

When you walk, your entire body is in a forwarding motion. If your toe hits an object (in this case, a chair), only this unfortunate toe will stop while the rest of your body continues its forwarding motion, resulting in you falling forward.
