when a moving bus stop suddenly passenger thrown forward because inertia of motion ( Newton's first law of motion), lower part of body comes to rest but upper body tend to maintain uniform motion. hence passenger thrown forward

Passenger thrown in forward direction on applying brakes in a bus is explained Newton's First Law of motion.
Explanation:
- Newton's first law of motion states that " An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line until an external force is applied to change the state".
- For example, when a bus driver suddenly applies break, passengers are thrown in the forward direction.
- The simple reason for this is inertia of motion. Since, when the bus is running in its average speed, lets say 60 km/h , then the passengers in the bus are also travelling in the same speed.
- Once the driver applies break, the state of bus changes from motion to rest. But on the other hand, the passengers are still in the same (60 km/h) motion.
- Hence, to compensate the relative difference in velocity factor, passengers are thrown in the forward direction.
- Newton's first law of motion is also called as Law of Inertia.
- Some other examples of Inertia are dusting a dirty mat. Shaking the tree for the fruits to fall . All are due to change in the state of their relative original state.
