What is the movement of the passenger on a bus when it suddenly stops?
What is the movement of the passenger on a bus when it suddenly stops? When the running bus stops suddenly, the passengers are jerked forward because due to inertia of motion the passengers tend to remain in their state of motion even though the bus has come to rest.
What law of inertia happens when the bus suddenly stops?
And the bus stopped suddenly. I fell down. Because of Newton's Law of Inertia, which states: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Why do passengers tend to fall sideways when the bus takes a sharp turn?
This is because of inertia of motion. The part of our body, which is in contact with the bus, changes the direction of motion. However, the rest of the body tries to move in the same direction as before because of inertia of motion.
What happens to the passengers Travelling in a bus when the bus takes a sharp turn?
Initially, the passengers and the bus both are moving in same direction. When the bus suddenly takes a sharp turn, the lower portion of passengers which is contact with the bus tends to move in that direction but the upper portion of the passengers throw an outside. This happens due to the INERTIA OF DIRECTION.
