Why does the passenger sitting in a moving bus are pushed in the forward direction when the bus stops suddenly?
The passengers sitting in the moving bus are pushed in the forward direction when the bus stops suddenly due to inertia because the passengers' upper body continues to be in a state of motion, while the lower part of the body that is in contact with the seat remains at rest. As a result, the passenger’s upper body is pushed in the forward direction, in the direction in which the bus was moving before coming to a halt.
