Answer 2

Answer:

inertia

Explanation:

The property of matter that will keep the body in motion when the car comes to a halt is the inertia force.

Inertia is the ability of a body to remain in static position. It is the tendency to remain in a stable condition where there is no motion.

• Newton's first law is the law of inertia and it states that a body remain in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
• The ability to remain in state of rest by a body is predicated on the force of inertia.
