Answer 1

Final answer:

The backward jolt Shelly experiences on the school bus is explained by her inertia.

Explanation:

The inertia of Shelly explains the backward jolt she experiences when the driver starts the school bus. When the bus accelerates forward, Shelly's body tends to stay in its current state of rest, leading to a backward force as a reaction to the bus's acceleration.
