Detailed Solution

While travelling, we tend to fall in the forward direction when the vehicle brakes to a stop and fall back when it accelerates from rest. This is due to inertia.
       When a moving vehicle brakes suddenly to a stop, we fall in the forward direction because though the lower part of our body comes to a stop when the vehicle stops but the upper part of our body continues to move forward due to its inertia (making us fall in the forward direction).
       When a vehicle accelerates from rest, we tend to fall backward because the lower part of our body starts moving with the moving vehicle, while the upper part of our body remains at rest because of its inertia (making us fall backwards).
