ABOUT

 

I know we all questioned why certain things happened while you're on public transportation such as a bus: like why it's easier to fall when the bus floor is wet and on top of that, the bus driver pulls off, or when the bus driver slams on the brakes and you go tumbling to the front of the bus, and last but not least, when you're trying to get to work or school on time and the bus driver is driving at 10 mph because there's snow and ice all over the ground!

 

Well here's your answers

 

Before you can understand what these concepts, you must understand what friction is. If you don't know what friction is, click the link below and check this cool video made by students explaining it.

 

What's Friction?



 

 

Physics behind why it is easier to fall when the bus floor is wet and pulls off at the same time.

 

​Physics behind when the bus makes a sudden stop and you seem to being sucked to the front of the bus.

 

Physics behind why the bus has to move really slow when there is ice on the ground.
