If you're traveling in a car going in a straight line then your body is moving at the same speed and in the same direction as the car. If the car then turns to the right, your body still wants to keep moving forward in a straight line so it feels like you're being thrown to the left. Even the car itself wants to keep moving in a straight line as that is the force that was acting on it. It is only the grip of the tyres on the road that pull the car to the right. This is why if a car goes around a bend to quickly it will go up on two wheels or flip over.

Why does a passenger slide to the side of the car when a car driver suddenly makes a sharp turn?

When a car driver suddenly makes a sharp turn, the passenger slides to the side of the car due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so when the car turns quickly, the passenger's body wants to keep moving in a straight line, causing them to slide to the side of the car.


What is a thumbtack made of?

A thumbtack is typically made of metal, with a sharp point on one side to attach it to surfaces like cork boards or walls. The round head on the other side makes it easy to push and remove the tack with your thumb.


What are waves that move from side to side?

Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. As the wave travels, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.


What is it when monocular depth cues explain why objects appear to move when you move you head from side to side?

When monocular depth cues explain why objects appear to move when you move your head from side to side, it is referred to as motion parallax. This phenomenon occurs because objects at different distances move at different speeds relative to your head movement, providing depth information and contributing to the perception of depth and distance.


What angle does a s wave move?

S waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that S waves move in a side-to-side or horizontal motion as they travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.

What causes sharp pain on the right side of the back right below the rib cage does not hurt like kidney stones but is a sharp pain that hurts more when move or push anything or a dull pain all day?

My husband has this extremely sharp pain on his right side on his back, just below the rib cage. He also has had kidney stones and the pain is different than the type of pain they caused. It only hurts when he makes certain movements. He has had MRI's and an x-ray, but nothing shows up. Is it a muscle strain or does anyone else who has experienced this problem know what is causing this pain?
