Question

an athlete does not came to rest immediately after crossing the winning line because of inertia of direction inertia of rest inertia of motion none of above​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (c) due to the inertia of motion.

Explanation:

[Concept Used: Inertia]

Indeed, an athlete does not come to rest immediately after crossing winning line. This is due to his inertia of motion according to which a body in motion tends to remain in motion until some external force is applied on it.

If the athlete were to stop immediately after crossing the winning line, the inertia of motion will lead to a forward push making the athlete injured.

The strategy of slowly stopping after crossing the wining line helps athlete to cancel out the inertia of motion with his external motion, and ultimately saving the self from falling.
