Why do passengers in a vehicle move backward when the vehicle suddenly moves forward? By the law of inertia, the passengers tend to retain their state of being at rest. Since the passengers are seated on a jeepney, the friction on their seats pulls them forward, making them look like they're moving backward. Both a and b.
