Why do passengers in a bus tend to fall backward when it starts suddenly?

due to sudden change in gravity ..imbalances ..


Why does one tend to fall backward on a bus when it starts out from a stand still?

why dose one tend to fall backward on a bus when it starts out from a stand still why dose one tend to fall backward on a bus when it starts out from a stand still


Why do passengers in a bus tend to fall backward if it starts suddenly?

It's because of inertia. You are not falling backward technically, rather the bus' acceleration is moving it forward however your inertia is stopping you from moving. So the bus is moving forward while you remain still. It is like the trick when someone pulls a cloth from under a bowl of water very quickly. The cloth comes away cleanly and the bowl does not budge. By the way inertia is the resistance an object (here the object is the passenger in the bus) has to having its state of motion change (that is in this case the passengers are resisting changing their movement from being still to actually moving).


Why a passenger standing in a fully loaded bus which is at rest tends to move backward when the driver suddenly starts the bus?

This is what we call "Inertia of Rest" The upper portion remains at rest though the feet attached to the bus starts moving. So relatively the head has to go back as it lags. So he falls backward. By holding the rod above the head with a grip the passenger pulls his head forward so as to avoid falling back. As the bus moves with uniform motion then whole body will be in motion. Same way as the driver applies brake and brings the bus to rest, the passenger falls forward. This is due to "intertia of motion"


Do the velocity of falling objects does not change?

If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.

When a train suddenly moves forward the passenger standing in the compartment tends to fall backward?

Yes--because of Newton's first law, the passenger wishes to stay in its constant state of motion, which is standing still in this case. Hence, when the train starts to move forward, the passenger will want to stay at the point he/she was and will fall backwards.

What does inertia do?

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change it state of rest or motion. when you are standing in a moving bus and it suddenly stops you tend to fall backward. This is due to inertia of motion. Body resists the change in motion due to which u fall backward. so inertia exactly opposes or resists your change in motion.
