Answer:

C

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Newton's 1st law of motions states : " Intertia: A objects resistance to change. More mass= more intertia. Less mass= Less intertia.

it ALSO states that an object at rest will stay at rest, until an outside forces acts upon the object, forming an unbalanced force.  

The car stopping suddenly is the outside force, and the book sliding forward is the intertia to change.
