Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?
Solution and Explanation
It is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus because when the bus stops suddenly, it readily comes in the state of rest but the luggage remains in the state of motion. So, due to inertia of motion, the luggage will move forward and would fall down from the roof of the bus.
If the bus starts suddenly, then bus comes in the state of motion but luggage remains in the state of rest. Due to inertia of rest, the luggage moves in the backward direction and will fall down.

Concepts Used:
Laws of Motion
The laws of motion, which are the keystone of classical mechanics, are three statements that defined the relationships between the forces acting on a body and its motion. They were first disclosed by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton's 2nd law of motion deals with the relation between force and acceleration. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as built by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton's 3rd law of motion states when a body applies a force on another body that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.
