Question

If you are sitting in the back seat of a car that makes a hard left turn, you will feel pushed toward the right side of the car. Why does your body move to the right

Answer 1

Inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

Your body is naturally resisting turning left, as it wants to continue straight. So if feels like you are going right.

Answer 2

Because my body tries to continue in the rectilinear motion it was experiencing before the turn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The body tries to continue in the rectilinear motion it was having before the hard left turn, in which a centripetal force is experienced. This is in agreement with Newton's first Law of motion:

"An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force."
