Why are passengrs in a moving vehicle throe out when the vehicle suddenly sto?

Inertial effect does this. According to Inertial Law, a body continues it's state of rest or motion, unless an unbalanced external force acts on it. Initially, when the vehicle is in motion, the passenger in connection with it also continues the same state of motion. But when the vehicle suddenly stops, the passenger continues his state of motion until the passenger faces an obstacle. If you still need more clarification, do let me know.
