Is the push on your back a resistance to motion when your body is at rest in a moving bus if Newton's Law says every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless otherwise acted upon?

The effect of being "pushed" back in the bus is in fact not a force applied on the passengers. The feeling of being pushed back is actually the passengers' inertia (or propensity to remain at the same velocity) continuing to remain at the same velocity as before, at rest. Thus, the bus is literally moving under your feet when your body remains at the same velocity as before; thus, the force applied in this situation is actually in the same direction as the acceleration of the bus since your body needs to move with the bus rather than fly towards the back of the bus. Inertia, is resistance to change: A mass at rest resists being put into motion; The momentum of a moving mass, resists all forms of change in its straight line motion. Inertia, is resistance; momentum is force.

What are prescribable uniform items?
Uniform items which may be directed or authorized for wear with the basic uniform. Items may be worn with basic uniform at the individual's discretion unless otherwise directed.
What is inrtia?
the resistance of a body to change its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight lin
Why there are lines in air wedge and circles in newton's rings?
In air wedge there is uniform separation between the two slabes but in Newtons ring the thickness is varying
What is uniform for an object falling from a height and non uniform?
Ignoring air resistance, the mass, weight, color, acceleration and direction of such a body are constant, whereas its speed is not. Note: "A height" is the only place from which an object can fall.
If air resistance is neglected what is the motion of an object projected at an angle consists of a uniform downward acceleration combined with what?
a constant horizontal speed
It is not the fall that hurts you it is the sudden stop Translate this into Newtons laws?
every body continues in the state of rest or of uniform motion unless an external force acts on it
What is cam newtons uniform number?

Does the Law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it?
The Law of Inertia states that a body continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it.
What are prescribable uniform items?
Uniform items which may be directed or authorized for wear with the basic uniform. Items may be worn with basic uniform at the individual's discretion unless otherwise directed.
What is 1st law of motion?
Newtons 1st law states that every body continues to be in its own state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight path unless it is compelled by any external force to change its state. If a force is exerted on a body the body will move but without force it will not move.
How acceleration occur in a straight pattern?
It just does, in the absence of other forces ( ie air and rolling resistance ), that is to say under ideal conditions, a constant force on a fixed mass will produce uniform acceleration (velocity change) acceleration ( (m/s)/s ) = force (newtons) / mass (kg)
What is inrtia?
the resistance of a body to change its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight lin
What is the definition of prescribable items?
Uniform items which may be directed or authorized for wear with the basic uniform. Items may be worn with basic uniform at the individual's discretion unless otherwise directed
When a pearl is dropped into a dense liquid it quickly acquires a uniform non accelerated motion downward why does this happen?
It accelerates quickly up to a low terminal velocity, then continues at constant velocity. At terminal speed, the downward force of gravity and the upward force of liquid resistance are in balance.
What is the definition newtons laws of motion?
Newton's First law of motion states that everybody continues or tends to be in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, unless it is compelled to change that state by force impressed on it.
What happens when you apply force in an object in space?
It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.
Why there are lines in air wedge and circles in newton's rings?
In air wedge there is uniform separation between the two slabes but in Newtons ring the thickness is varying
