Question:
Why do passengers in a moving train suddenly feel a jerk in the forward direction when the train stops abruptly?

1.The upper body of passengers continues to be in the state of motion while the lower part of the body which in contact with the seat remains at rest

2.The upper body of passengers continues to be in the state of motion while the lower part of the body which in contact with the seat remains at rest

3.The inertia of rest stops the train and takes the passengers forward

4.Nothing can be said due to insufficient data
