A person getting down from a running bus keeps moving forward along with the bus unintentionally to a certain distance this is due to inertia of
Answers
Answer:
While the person is in the bus, he moves in the same direction of motion as the motion of the bus. When the person steps on the ground, his feet do not move but his upper body moves in the direction of the bus due to inertia of its motion. Since his upper body moves in the forward direction and his lower body does not move, the person falls in the forward direction.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s first law of motion, the body in the motion stays in the motion unless and until it is acted by the external force to oppose its motion. Inertia of the body is the tendency of the body to continue its motion even after the applied force on the body is removed.While the person is in the bus, he moves in the same direction of motion as the motion of the bus. When the person steps on the ground, his feet do not move but his upper body moves in the direction of the bus due to inertia of its motion. Since his upper body moves in the forward direction and his lower body does not move, the person falls in the forward direction.We need to verify other options as well.
