Question
Explain the following:
Why is it dangerous to jump out of a moving vehicle? How can the danger be minimised?
Solution
It is dangerous to jump out of a moving vehicle. Because when we jump out of a moving vehicle, then our feet will suddenly come to rest, while the rest of the body will be in the state of motion, and hence, one can fall down and get seriously injured. We can minimise this danger by running along with the moving bus and in the same direction in which the bus is moving.
