When a carpet is beaten with a stick,

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

Solution:
Initially, the carpet and loose dust in it are in the state of rest. When the carpet is hit with a stick, it is suddenly set into motion, but the loose dust in it remains in the state of rest because of inertia of rest. Thus, in a way, dust is left behind relative to carpet and hence comes out in air.
