Answer:
The book remained in its state of rest before the car started to move forward as no direct force acted on it.
Explanation:
According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its present state of rest, or if it is in motion, will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless aced upon by an external force. This tendency of a body to remain in its state of reset or uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia and is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The more massive a body, the more inertia it possesses. Thus Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia.
Considering the case of the book on the dashboard of a stationary car which suddenly starts to move. While the car is stopped at the traffic light, the dashboard where the book sits and the book are both at rest. When the car begins to move forward, the dashboard moves forward with it. However as the book is not a part of the car, no force is directly acting on it, so the book so it stays at rest due to its inertia.
Therefore, as the car is moving forward, the stationary book appears to move backward from the reference point of the car, sliding off the dashboard.
Kinetic energy is the energy applied or present in a moving object. According to Newton's second law of motion the magnitude of acceleration of an object is proportional to the magnitude of the net force but inversely proportional to its mass. So the Kinetic Energy of a moving car of small vehicle is greater than the large vehicle if both are applied with the same net force. The greater the Kinetic Energy the longer the stopping distance
For those seeking for the answer, its a source of electrical energy.
