When the bus starts, the passengers try to maintain the state of rest and react by leaning backward.

When the bus takes a turn, the passengers try to maintain the direction of motion and react by tilting against the change.

When the bus comes to a halt, the passengers try to maintain the state of motion and react by leaning forward.

Q. Match the types of inertia possessed by passengers sitting in a bus corresponding to the state of bus.

Give reasons:

A)When a bus takes a U-turn,passengers sitting inside are thrown a side.

B)It is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving with the samespeed.

C)A passenger jumping out of a rapidly moving bus falls forward with his face downwards.

D)A person sitting in bus falls forward when moving bus suddenly stops and people sitting in bus fall backward when bus suddenly starts.

Study the following scenarios and identify what type of inertia tends to resist the change:

1. When the bus suddenly starts, the bus passenger on the bus tends to fall backwards.
2. When a passenger jumps out of moving the bus, he falls down.
3. A cyclist in a leveller road does not come to rest immediately even if he stops pedalling.

Q. Passengers standing in a bus are thrown outwards when the bus takes a sudden turn. This is due to:

A bus starts from the rest, accelerates constantly and takes 50 seconds to get the speed of $10 \frac{m}{s}$ . If the mass of the bus along with passengers is 10000 kg, calculate the force applied (in N) by the engine of the bus to push the bus to the speed of $10 \frac{m}{s}$ ?
