The statement that best explains why your body continues to move forward after your foot stops is:
An unbalanced force stops your foot but does not act on the rest of your body.
This concept relates to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes to its state of motion. When your foot trips and stops, your body, due to inertia, continues to move forward until acted upon by another force (such as falling or hitting the ground).
