Question
you are standing on a moving bus, facing forward, and you suddenly fall backward. based on newtons first law, you can imply that the bus speed remained the same, but it turned right, speed remained the same, but it turned left, speed decreased, speed increased
According to Newton's first - law (the law of inertia), an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When you are standing on a moving bus and fall backward, it means the bus has increased its speed. Your body, due to inertia, tries to maintain its original speed, so you fall backward relative to the bus.
