Question

why do we fall in the backward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest​

Answer 1

Answer:

the most accurate answer is INERTIA

Explanation:

This happens due to inertia of rest. all the persons in the bus tend to maintain their state of rest and hence fall backwards

Answer 2

Answer:

When the bus is moving, we are moving with it. When the bus stops, we are still moving because of inertia. so we fall in forward direction.

Similarly when it accelerates, we, earlier stationary, due to inertia of motion fall backwards(because our body resists the change in velocity due to inertia)
