Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay at motion.

When a car stops, your body goes forward and you move forward unless something stops you.

That’s called inertia.

Inertia; when an object is in motion it tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force and vice veers. So if you are in a moving car, you are also moving, and when the car stops you are still moving until an outside force (hopefully your seat belt) forces you to stop.
