Why is it advised to tie luggage kept on the roof of a bus?
(N/A) When a speeding bus stops suddenly,the luggage continues to move forward due to the inertia of motion. This happens because the luggage is in a state of motion along with the bus,and according to Newton's first law of motion,it tends to maintain its state of motion. Consequently,if the luggage is not tied,it is likely to fall off the bus due to its inertia.
