Answer:Yes

Explanation:

We will able to maintain that because of inertia.

Inertia is the property of an object to maintain the state of rest or motion unless an external force is applied to the object. This is the conclusion of the first law of motion.

some examples of inertia are when a bus suddenly stops and we feel a push.
