When a bus suddenly takes a right turn?

When a bus suddenly takes a turn, the direction of motion of bus will change but due to the law of inertia the passengers will be moving in there initial direction of motion unless some external force is exerted on them hence they will experience a force that will push them outward.

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.

When a bus takes a turn, the centrifugal force felt by the passengers, is directed opposite to the direction of the turn. Hence, when a bus takes a right turn, the passengers inside the bus seem to lean towards left.

Initially, the passengers and the bus both are moving in same direction. When the bus suddenly takes a sharp turn, the lower portion of passengers which is contact with the bus tends to move in that direction but the upper portion of the passengers throw an outside. This happens due to the INERTIA OF DIRECTION.

When the running bus stops suddenly, the passengers are jerked forward because due to inertia of motion the passengers tend to remain in their state of motion even though the bus has come to rest. Q.

When a bus or train at rest starts, to move suddenly, the passengers sitting in it jerk in the backward direction due to their inertia of rest.

iv. What will happen to a person sitting inside a bus when a bus turns a corner to the left suddenly? When a bus take a sharp turn, passengers fall in the outward direction. It is due to inertia that they want to continue to their motion in a straight line and thus falls outwards.

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.

MORE DETAILS

When a bus turns a corner sharply, the passengers tend to fall sideways because of inertia or tendency to continue moving in the straight line.

Where may passengers be thrown when a bus takes a bend too fast? Explanation: Turning corners or travelling around bends too quickly will push passengers towards the outside of the bend. In addition, the weight of the passengers being transferred to one side of the vehicle will make the bus even more unstable.

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.
