: A person is sitting on the open door of a moving bus without holding it. When the bus takes a sharp turn, the person falls outside on the road. This happened due to inertia of direction

★ As We know that, The body at rest tries to stay in the same state of rest due to inertia. When it is made to move by applying an external force on it, this inertia tries to resist this change and tries to keep the body in the same state of inertia.

★ know more, When the car comes to a stop, then the person falls forward because of inertia of motion as lower comes to rest with the car but the upper body tries to stay in motion due to inertia.
★ The inertia of direction can be experienced when the car abruptly changes direction and the upper body tries to stay in the previous direction of motion.
Answer : option (c) inertia of direction
explanation : you have studied Newton's law of motion, haven't you ?
according to Newton's first law of motion, if an object is at rest or moving with a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or motion until there is no external force applied on that object.
inertia of rest, inertia of motion and inertia of direction are nothing but the types of first law of motion.
inertia of direction is the inability of body to change its direction by itself.
here a person is sitting on the open door of a moving bus without holding it. when the bus takes a sharp turns, the person falls outside on the road because person is not able to change its direction by itself along with bus. that's why person falls outside on the road.
so the correct reason of this is inertia of direction.
