4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
medium
We are standing in a stationary bus. When bus suddenly start why we are thrown in backward direction ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
When we are standing in a stationary bus our feet are in touch with the floor. Frictional force is between feet and floor of the bus.
When bus suddenly start due to friction our feet start moving in direction of bus whereas rest of the body try to retain position due to inertia.
Hence, we are thrown in backward direction in opposite direction of acceleration of bus.
