Why does a man getting down from a running bus falls forward?
When the person steps on the ground, his feet do not move but his upper body moves in the direction of the bus due to inertia of its motion. Since his upper body moves in the forward direction and his lower body does not move, the person falls in the forward direction.
When you get down from a running bus you seem to fall forward?
due to inertia of motion upper part of body continues to be in motion in forward direction while feet come to rest as soon as they touch the road.
When we try to get down from a running bus we usually fall flat on the ground explain?
Consider two observers moving with respect to each other at a speed v along a straight line. They observe a block of mass m moving a distance l on a rough surface. The following quantities will be same as observed by the two observers.
What can happen if we get down from a moving bus?
Answer: If someone tries to get out of a moving bus then the momentum makes the person move forward. A person might fall in the forward direction due to moment of inertia when the speed is fast. As the person gets out of the moving bus the momentum is reduced to zero.
Why a man getting out of a moving bus runs in the same direction for a certain distance?
Answer: Explanation: It’s because when he stop down from a moving bus his feet come at rest while the upper portion of his body is still in motion and he falls in the forward direction.
Why a fast running person falls forward by getting a jerk?
When a running bus or train stops suddenly, the passengers sitting in it jerk in forward direction due to the inertia of motion. The momentum of a moving body is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.
When a person jumps from a moving bus?
Answer: A man jumping out from a moving bus holds the inertia of motion. As the man lands on the ground, feet come to rest instantly while the upper part of the body continue to move due to inertia of motion. Therefore, the person may fall forward.
What a person must do to avoid falling while getting down from a moving bus?
When the man suddenly gets down of the moving bus…his body is in state of rest wrt bus but moving art to ground. Hence to avoid falling the man needs to run after getting down to some distance.
When a passenger gets down from a moving bus he falls down in the direction of the motion of the bus this is due to?
This is an example of inertia of motion. A passenger getting down from a moving bus falls in the direction of motion of bus is because the feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.
Why an athlete runs some distance before taking a long jump?
The faster the velocity of an athlete the higher the jump he makes. Jumping after running for a certain distance covers more length than that of jumping without running. An athlete runs a certain distance before taking a long jump to gain the momentum that would help him/her to cover a longer distance.
Why do people fall forward when stepping out of slowly running buses?
So, when a person stepping out from a slowly running bus the upper portion of the body still remain in motion due to the inertia of motion even on touching the ground and his lower portion will come to rest. So he falls forward.
What happens when a person alights from a moving bus?
When a person alights from the bus, his body would try to continue moving in the direction the bus was moving due to inertia. But as soon as both the feet touches the ground, the lower part of the body comes to rest while the upper part gets carried away under the effect of inertia resulting into his forward fall.
Why do the feet of a passenger get stuck in a bus?
It is due to the inertia of motion. The passenger is moving with the velocity of the bus/train/cart/tram/conveyor belt. When s/he gets off , the feet suddenly come to rest but the body keeps moving forward due to inertia.
How did the man fall off the bus?
Initially he is moving in the direction of the bus as he is on the bus. As he steps on the ground his feet stop moving in the direction of the bus but his upper body continues to do so (Newtons 1st law). If his top half moves forward and the bottom half stays still he overbalances and falls in the direction of the bus.
