Question

explain the concept of inertia by explaining the example of the
two riders on the bike pls explain why the back seater moves back
wards on sudden accleleration and why forward as the brakes are
applied pls explain in a simple manner if possible

Somnath physics · Accepted Answer

The law of inertia states that
a body tends to be at rest or a
body at constant motion will continue its motion unaltered, unless
disturbed by an external force

So, we can say inertia is a kind
of opposition to the change in the state of motion When the bike
accelerates suddenly the back seater who was initially at rest
experiences a force of friction at the point of contact between him
and the bike His inertia of rest tries to keep him at rest which
results in a backward push Thus, the back seater moves backwards
when the bike accelerates suddenly

When the brakes are applied the
inertia of motion of the back seater tries to keep him in motion so
he moves forward

explain the concept of inertia by explaining the example of the two riders on the bike. pls explain why the back seater moves back wards on sudden accleleration and why forward as the brakes are applied.. pls explain in a simple manner if possible.
