Question

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

Answer 1

We fall forward when moving bus suddenly stops because of inertia of motion as our lower feet stops when bus stops but our upper body tends to remain in motion.

We fall backward when a bus in rest accelerates because of inertia of rest.

Answer 2

The passengers in a bus tend to fall backward when it starts suddenly due to inertia as the passengers tend to remain in the state of rest while the bus starts to move. When the bus stops suddenly, people fall forward because their inertia as they are in state of motion even when the bus has come to rest.
