Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

As the driver applies brakes, the bus comes to rest. But, the passenger tries to maintain the inertia of motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him. ... Hence, the passenger tends to fall back when the bus accelerates forward.

Answer 2

As the driver applies brakes, the bus comes to rest. But, the passenger tries to maintain the inertia of motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him. ... Hence, the passenger tends to fall back when the bus accelerates forward.
