A straight moving bus takes a sharp right turn. What will happen to the passengers sitting inside the bus?
Correct answer: B. They will tilt leftwards
- A. They will tilt rightwards
- B. They will tilt leftwards
- C. They will stay the way they were
- D. They will start jumping
Explanation
When a straight moving bus takes a sharp right turn, the passengers sitting inside the bus will experience a force acting towards the left due to their inertia. This force causes the passengers to tilt or lean towards the left side of the bus.Therefore, the correct answer is B) They will tilt leftwards.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
