Explanation :

When the car accelerates, our body pushed backward against the seat. This effect is due to inertia.

When the car starts suddenly, our feet also comes in motion. But the rest body is still at rest.

Inertia is the property of a body which opposes its state of rest or state of motion.

In this case, the inertia of the passenger resists the motion of the car. So, he pushed backwards as the car started.

What is a smash shot?<br> (BADMINTON)
zaharov [31]
The smash shot in badminton is considered one of the most powerful kind of shot that can tilt the score in your favour. This shot can only be excited when the shuttle is high in the air. The reason behind that is because from a high elevation point, the shuttle is smashed downward over the net into the opponent's court. There is almost no defence against such a shot because it is slammed so quickly and is at such a downward angle that it is difficult for the opponent to receive it.
