When a man getting down from a running bus falls forward?

When a person alights from the bus, his body would try to continue moving in the direction the bus was moving due to inertia. But as soon as both the feet touches the ground, the lower part of the body comes to rest while the upper part gets carried away under the effect of inertia resulting into his forward fall.

The correct answer is Newton's first law. ?Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.

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.
