Question

When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.

Answer 1

Inertia

1. Newton's first law of motion asserts that unless some external unbalanced force acts on an object, it will continue in the identical state of motion.
2. Inertia is a trait of a body causing it to tend to remain in a constant state of motion.
3. Unbalanced external pressures help overcome the object's inertia.
4. If two objects are stuck together and a significant unbalanced force is applied to one of them, they would separate because inertia keeps the other object motionless whereas the first moves.

Explanation

1. Inertia is an object's tendency to resist any alteration in its condition of rest or motion.
2. If you beat a carpet with a stick, it will start to move. Dust particles, but on the other side, are attempting to awaken from their slumber.
3. Newton's first law of motion can be used to describe the concept.
4. When you use a stick to beat a carpet, the stick force is applied to the carpet, causing it to move.
5. The dust on the carpet has inertia, which prevents the carpet from moving.
6. As a result, the forward motion of the carpet produces a reverse force on the dust particles, propelling them in the opposite direction.
7. This is why when the carpet is trashed, dust comes out.
