A passenger standing in a bus is thrown outward when the bus takes a sudden turn. This happens due to
A
Outward pull on him
B
Inertia of motion
C
Change in momentum
D
Change in acceleration
Correct Answer: Inertia of motion
Newton's 1st law of inertia states that an object will change its direction when a force is applied to it. Hence, when a bus takes a sudden turn the passengers are thrown outward. This is due to the inertia of direction.
