Solution
Inertia
of an object tends to resist any change in its state
of rest or state of motion. When a carpet is beaten with a stick,
then the carpet comes to motion. But, the dust particles try to
resist their state of rest. According to Newton’s first law of
motion, the dust particles stay in a state of rest, while the carpet
moves. Hence, the dust particles come out of the carpet.
