Question
Give scientific reason for the following:
A man runs in the direction of train while getting down from a moving train.
Solution
When a man gets down from a moving train, his feet come to rest immediately, while the upper part of his body due to inertia of motion still remains in motion and consequently he leans in forward direction. The person while getting down of a train should run forward in the direction of the moving train to avoid fall.
