When a moving train stops suddenly a man tends to fall?
This is due to inertia. When the speeding bus stops suddenly, lower part of the body comes to rest while the upper part of the body tends to maintain uniform motion. Hence, the passenger's are thrown forward.

When the train stops, there is no force acting on the object (passenger), so he will remain in motion. This is why when suddenly the train stops, due to the law of inertia or Newton's first law of motion, the passengers are pushed forward.
Effects of InertiaYou and the car have inertia. If the car comes to a sudden stop, your body tends to keep moving forward. When the car starts moving again, your body tends to stay at rest. You move forward because the car seat exerts an unbalanced force on your body.
Be standing between the rails and get struck from behind by a fast moving train...you might bounce clear and your body will be spared the mangling, but the effect would be a lot like getting hit in the back of the head with a sledghammer...you might have a brief flash of pain, but then it would be lights out.

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.
