Solution

When thebus accelerates and moves forward, it acquires a state of motion.However, the luggage kept on the roof, owing to its inertia, tends toremain in its state of rest. Hence, with the forward movement of thebus, the luggage tends to remain at its original position andultimately falls from the roof of the bus. To avoid this, it isadvised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.
