MCQ

A person jumping from a moving bus onto the road falls forward, the reason for this is

A
Due to inertia of steady state, the road is left behind and the man moves forward.
✓
Due to inertia of moving state, the upper part of person remains in motion while the feet come in stationary state due to coming in contact with the road.
C
The person leans forward due to his old habit.
D
Due to all of the above mentioned effects.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
