When a bus or a car suddenly starts moving forward the passengers fall backward?
When a bus starts suddenly,its passengers tend to fall backwards because due to their inertia, the passengers tend to remain in a state of rest even when the bus starts moving.

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.
When a moving bus breaks to a stop we fall in the forward direction due to inertia of motion and when the bus accelerates from rest, we fall in the backward direction due to inertia of rest.
Expert-Verified AnswerIf the bus suddenly moves going to North or forward, the passenger will tend to move backward or South. The passenger's movement is in opposite direction to the bus. The reason behind this one was because of the inertia in motion.
When a moving bus suddenly applies brakes, the passengers sitting in it fall in the forward direction. This can be explained by Newton's first law. This is true because of the law of inertia when the bus was moving with some constant velocity hence passengers will also move with the bus.
