Question

Why does a carpet beaten with a stick releases dust

Answer 1

Answer:

Inertia of rest

Explanation:

The dust particles on the carpet have inertia of rest. So, when the carpet moves when it is beaten, the dust particles do not move along with it but rather fall down.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When the carpet is beaten with a stick, it moves backwards. But, due to the INERTIA OF REST, the dust particles remain at their position. They get separated from the carpet and it seems like the carpet is releasing dust.
