Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object’s speed, or direction of motion. Inertia comes from the Latin word, iners, meaning idle, sluggish.
Q. When a passenger jumps out of a moving train he falls down due to inertia of?
This is because when the passenger is sitting inside the train his body possesses inertia of motion but when he jumps out of the moving train his lower body suddenly stops but the upper body still has the inertia of motion causing him to move forward and hence the passenger falls down.

Q. When a passenger jumps out of a moving train he falls forward?
The man jumping out from moving train possesses the inertia of motion. As the man lands on the ground, feet come to rest immediately while upper part of body continue to move due to inertia of motion. Hence, the person falls forward.
Q. Why does a man getting off a moving bus fall down 2 points?
A person might fall in the forward direction due to moment of inertia when the speed is fast. This can be explained by the Newtons’s law of inertia. The direction and speed of the person is the same as that of bus. As the person gets out of the moving bus the momentum is reduced to zero.
Q. Why does a man getting off a moving bus fall down 1 point?
This is due to Newton’s first law of motion. First law of motion is called as law of inertia. This law states that an object will be at rest and an object will be in motion unless an external force applied to it. Due to this reason, a person getting down from the moving bus falls in the direction of motion of the bus.
Q. What happens to you when you get down from a moving bus?
A getting passenger getting down from a moving bus, falls in the direction of the motion of the bus. This is because his feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.
Q. Why it is dangerous to go out from a moving train?
Its dangerous to jump from moving train because when inside the train , his complete body was in state of motion with train. On jumping out of moving train as soon as his feet touch the ground, the lower part of the body comes to rest suddenly, while upper part remains in motion due to inertia of motion.
Q. What happens when you jump on a moving train?
In the train, the air moves with the same velocity as the train, so no air resistance. This means, if you jump, you land on the same spot. If you jump inside the train then all the air on the train is also travelling at the same speed as the train so it doesn’t slow you down.
