When a carpet is beaten with a stick,it releases dust. Explain why?
(N/A) The dust particles lying on the carpet possess inertia of rest. When the carpet is beaten with a stick,the carpet moves suddenly,but the dust particles tend to remain in their state of rest due to inertia of rest. Consequently,the dust particles get separated from the carpet and fall down due to gravity.
