Relative to the bus, you are moving towards the back. If your walking speed is slower than the speed of the moving bus (which it usually will be) then your motion relative to a point on the ground will be moving in the direction of the moving bus, but slower by the speed at which you are walking.

If the person walking has a velocity lower than the bus, they will be moving forward relative to a static point on the ground. They will however be moving backward relative to a static point on the bus.

From the point of reference of a person on the bus, the bus

is generally at rest, but with some frequent jolts up, down,

forward and backward, left and right.

The person riding on the bus may feel the bus is at rest. But there may be frequent jolts up and down.

If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity the force that pushes the car forward must be?

1. force that moves a car forward is the friction force between the tires and the road (ignoring what is going on mechanically in the car) 2. if the car is travelling at constant velocity, net force is zero - forces pushing car forward are equal to forces pushing car back


A car goes forward along a level road at constant velocity The additional force needed to bring the car into equilibrium is?

Zero.


What causes a force to produce motion?

To move an object forward from rest the thrust of forward force must be greater than the drag acting in the opposite direction. In order to keep moving at a constant velocity the forward force must equal the drag.


Why person jumping out of a speeding train fall forward?

The velocity of the person is the velocity of the speeding train plus the velocity of the jump out. this gives a resultant velocity with a forward component in the direction of the train's motion.


What procedure you used for checking the condition and serviceability of a constant velocity joint?

If you have the CV ( constant velocity joint ) in front of you it will be without any play in the bearings, the bearings will not be cracked or loose. the splines on each end will be without burs. If still in the vehicle you will notice a grind or clunk (both in forward and reverse), from the front of the car, more so under acceleration


Is an orbit formed by combining forward motion and free fall?

Kind of, yes. It's a balance between orbital velocity, which is the high speed relative to the ground, and gravity, which is the force keeping the object in orbit.


If you push an object in a forward direction does its velocity have to be forward?

No. It depends on what other forces are acting on the object.


An 80kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal slope of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?

40 newtons. give the explanation of this


Describe the left forward stance in your own words !?

Describe left forward stance in your own words ?


What is the definition of relative direction?

left, right, forward, backward, forward, up and down


If a race car travels along a raceway at a constant velocity of 200kmh what horizontal forces act?

The road is the horizontal force on the car. The tires push on the road which is the action and the road pushes forward on the tires which is the reaction.


What is the forward velocity?

Forward it is the same as the plane that he/she was jumping off. Downward it is up to 300-350 kph.
