A Man Jumping Out Of A Moving Train Due To Inertia Is Thrown :

A: Backward
B: Forward
C: Sideward
D: Flat

The answer is: B

Explanation

When a man jumps out of a moving train, due to the principle of inertia, he continues to move in the direction of the train's motion even after leaving the train.

So, the man is thrown forward in the direction of the train's motion. This is because his body was moving forward along with the train, and due to inertia, it tends to continue to move in the same direction even after he jumps off.

The man can also experience other forces such as air resistance, friction with the ground, and gravity, which may cause him to tumble or roll after he lands. Therefore, it is important to avoid jumping out of a moving train as it can result in serious injury or even death.
