In the passenger compartment, only 2 passengers travel while standing and do not hold onto the handrails. The bus slows down sharply. One passenger is plump, the other is thin. Questions: 1-Where will the passengers fly? (In which direction and why exactly there) 2-Which of them will fly further and why exactly he? 3-What Newton’s laws are manifested in this case?

Passengers will fly in the direction of travel of the bus, according to the resulting acceleration of braking. When braking, a force arises proportional to the mass of the body, i.e. measure of inertia (Newton’s first law). Because both passengers of different masses, then the greater inertia of the one that is heavier, therefore, the force applied to it during braking will be greater than that of the thin one (Newton’s second and third laws). More inert bodies are more difficult to accelerate and stop, because it takes a lot of strength to do this.
