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

When a carpet is beaten with a stick, then it comes in motion. But, the dust particles try to resist a change in their state of rest. According to Newton's first law of motion, the dust particles stay in a state of rest, while the carpet moves. Hence, the dust particle comes out of the carpet due to inertia.

Note: Inertia is the tendency of a body to continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless or until compelled by an external force.
