Question

why do we fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it acceleration from rest?

Answer 1

due to the inertia.....................

Answer 2

Answer:

go thorugh my answer once and then please tell is it clear or not

Explanation:

(i) When the bus is moving, our body is also in motion and when the sudden brakes applied on the bus, the lower part of our body comes to rest as soon as the bus stops. But the upper part of our body continues to be in motion and hence we fall in forward direction due to inertia of motion. When the bus accelerates from rest we fall backwards, because when the bus is stationary our body is at rest. When the bus accelerates, the lower part of our body comes in contact with the floor of the bus, and the upper part of our body remains at rest due to inertia of rest. Hence, we fall in the backward direction.
