Question

Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and falls backward when it accelerates from rest?

Answer 1

Answer:

BECAUSE our upper part of the body is not touched with the seat.

Answer 2

Answer:

We fall forward when a moving bus brakes to stop due to inertia of motion .

Inertia of motion :

Inertia of motion is the inherent property to resist the change in its state of

motion .

This means that if a body is in motion , it tends to remain in motion till an

external force acts .

In this case , the passenger tends to remain in motion but falls forward

when the brakes are applied due to inertia of motion .
