Answer:

i think gravity created a force strong enough to push him down.but it also depends how slow or fast the bus is going

Step-by-step explanation:

gravity as we all now it is pretty strong so if the bus is going fast then the person standing up will fall but if the bus is going pretty slow then it'll just nudge him.

That is inertia, 1st law of motion, no net force is applied
