Question

When a carpet is beaten with a stick , dust comes out of it Explain why

Answer 1

Due to the inertia of rest the dust particles tend to remain at rest whereas the carpet comes into motion,this causes the dust particles to fall down

Answer 2

Inertia of an object tends to resist any change in its state of rest or state of motion. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, then the carpet comes to motion. But, the dust particles try to resist their state of rest. According to Newton’s first law of motion, the dust particles stay in a state of rest, while the carpet moves. Hence, the dust particles come out of the carpet.

Hope this helps
