Reggie accidentally left his books on top of his car before he left for class. The books stayed on top of his car while he was driving north on Oak Avenue. Then, when he made a sharp turn eastward onto Harris Lane, his books fell off the top of his car and onto the street. Which of the following best explains why Reggie's books fell?

because there is such a sudden change in direction, they will naturally be pulled off the car. I cant really give an exact answer to this, cuz I'm not really sure, its just something you know will happen :/

When Reggie's car turned eastward, his books continued moving northward, causing them to slide off the top of his car.
