Question

Observe some daily life examples for Newton's first law of motion and explain the situations. Write a report on your observations

Answer 1

1. When a bus suddenly starts, the passengers sitting or standing in the bus tend to fall backward. This is due to inertia of rest and can be explained as follows: when the bus suddenly starts, the lower part of the body of the passenger which is in contact with the bus moves along with the bus while the upper part of the body tends to retain its state of rest due to inertia. As a result, the passenger falls backward.


3. Consider a coin placed on the plate covering a tumbler. If the plate is sudden flicked off, the coin falls into the tumbler due to inertia of rest.

4. When a branch of a tree is vigorously shaken the fruits and seeds in It fall down due to inertia of rest.

5. When moving bus suddenly stops, the passengers sitting or standing in the bus are thrown forward. This is due to inertia of motion and can be explained as follows: when the moving bus suddenly stops, the lower part of the body of the passenger contact with the bus suddenly comes to rest while the upper part of the body tends to retain its state of motion due to inertia. As a result, the passenger is thrown forward.

6. A rider on a running horse is thrown forward when the horse stops suddenly due to inertia of motion.

7. When a person jumps out of a moving vehicle, he falls forward due to inertia of motion.
