Question 2

When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain

Answer

The part of the carpet where the stick strikes, comes in motion at once, while the dust particles settled on it's fur, remain in position due to inertia of rest. Thus, the part of the carpet moves ahead with the stick, leaving behind the dust particles which fall down due to the earth's pull.
