When the bus moves, we as passengers possess some force called the inertia of motion. When brakes are applied we move forward as the force is still within us.

This is due to an inherent property of every body that is INERTIA. When the driver of the bus applies brakes, the lower part of the body which is in contact with the bus tries to stop while the upper part which was moving tries to maintain its position of motion. That is why, when the bus stops, we (upper part) moves forward, and when the bus stops i.e. driver releases the brakes, we also become stable. This inertia is called `inertia in motion`. There is another inertia called `inertia at rest` which can be observed when you are in a standing bus & it starts moving, You move back.

When a body is in motion, it tends to remain in a state of motion until an equal force opposing motion is applied according to Newton's First Law. Thus, when a body is moving in a bus, the whole body is in a state of continuous motion. But as soon as the brakes are applied, the feet which are in direct contact with the surface of the bus comes to a state of immediate rest, but the upper portion of the body is not able to do so instantaneously. Thus, the body of a person in a body moves in forward direction.

According to Newton's lst law of motion everybody persists in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line excepting so far it may be compelled by any other external force to change that state.This is also called the law of Inertia. We move with bus in forward direction when breaks are put because of Inertia.

While we are in a bus,we are moving atthe same apeed as that of the bus.When brakes are applied,our body is propelled forward due to its inertia of motion, which our body tends to maintain even after the bus has stopped.The bus comes to a stop but our body still tries to remain in motion to maintain its inertia and falls in the forward direction.

Ramani anand, Thovalai,

objects at rest tend to remain at rest, and objects in motion tend to remain in motion. they maintain their states in which they are currently present . we notice this when we stand in a moving bus and the driver suddenly applies the brakes. our feet are in contact with the floor of he bus, but the body moves forward. because of the same effect when the car takes a turn we feel a force pushing us in the opposite direction. however, the same concept of inertia is used specifically to keep the satellites and space stations in their orbits around the earth

Bus stops

it happens due to inertia of motion or the Newtons first law.
the lower body comes at rest when breaks r applied and the upper body remains in motion due to inertia of motion.
i think it will help.

It is due to inertia-it is the tendency of a body to remian in its physical condition so long as it is changed. When the brakes are applied, we get a jerk.

it is by inertia of motion...
