What would happen if you jumped on a bus?

If I jump up in a moving bus will I land on the same spot where? If the bus is traveling at constant speed, yes. You're moving with the same speed as the bus, and you'll keep moving with this speed while you're jumping. If the bus is accelerating while you jump, you will land in a slightly different spot.

When a bus stops suddenly, its passengers tend to fall forward because due to their inertia the passengers tend to remain in a state of motion even though the bus has come to rest.

MORE DETAILS

This is due to inertia of rest of upper part of the passengers body when the bus or train suddenly starts moving, the lower part of the passenger's body starts moving along with the bus or train while upper part of the body has a tendency to remain in the state of rest due to inertia of rest and hence falls backward.

This is because of inertia of motion. The part of our body, which is in contact with the bus, changes the direction of motion. However, the rest of the body tries to move in the same direction as before because of inertia of motion. Q.

While jumping from a moving bus, our feet comes to rest on touching the ground, whereas the upper part of our body continues to move forward due to inertia of motion. As a result we may fall with our face downwards. Study the following scenarios and identify what type of inertia tends to resist the change: 1.
