Question

if a man is standing in a moving bus that then slows down, what causes the man’s body to continue moving at the original speed and hence push forward?

answer options:
select one of four

gravity
velocity
inertia
mass

Explanation:

The question is about the phenomenon where a man in a slowing - down bus continues to move forward. In physics, inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When the bus slows down, the man's body, due to inertia, tends to keep moving at its original speed. Gravity is a force that attracts objects towards each other (like the Earth pulling objects down), velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction, and mass is the amount of matter in an object. So inertia is the correct concept here.

Answer:

Inertia
