Answer / vaishavi shahi
Initialy, both the carpet and the dust are at rest. when the carpet is shaken with a sticks , it is set into motion whlie the dust remains in the state of rest due to inertia of rest. Thus, dust falls down due to the pull of gravity.

Answer / sudhanshu
If we beat a carpet, the dust comes out because the inertia of dust is lesser than inertia of carpet
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 2 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / daksha jha
This is because when we beat the carpet with stick,we apply
pressure on the dust particles of the carpect.On applying
pressure the kinetic energy of particles increases.As a
result the particles starts moving and we see them coming
out of the carpet.

Answer / hirand
It may be due to pressure also. As a pressure is applied by stick the pressure removed dust from carpet.

Answer / hania
when we beat a carpet with stick, the dust lying between the threads of carpet fall off because carpet is suddenly set in motion,the dust particle tend to remain at rest due to inertia of rest

Answer / waleed khan
Due to much less weight of the particles the force of the wind is greater then the weight of the particles therefore particles flying in the air

Answer / simranjot singh gill
it is because of gravitational force, inertia and gravity.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 10 No |
Answer / vaisnaavi . v. shenoy
it is because the dust particles were in rest and when the
carpet is besten with the stick the dust particles cannot
resist the change so the fall down.

Answer / sanju
When the carper is beaten with a stick, the carpet and the
dust particles are ser in motion. The carper comes to rest
after some time, while the dust particles go on moving.

Answer / vaisakh
yeah.abhiram is right. it is also because of the
gravitational force.
