Definition of Force Inertia and First Law: Practice Problem & Solution

A passenger in the bus finds that his suit-case suddenly starts sliding backwards. This means that the bus is :
Turning left
Turning right
Accelerating
Retarding

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Definition of Force Inertia and First Law. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

This is due to inertia of motion.
