They don't really move to the right. Their mass keeps going straight ...

that's what masses do until they're acted on by an external force.

What is the difference between a clockwise and an anti-clockwise rotation?

A clockwise rotation moves in the direction that clock hands move - from top to right to bottom to left. An anti-clockwise rotation moves in the opposite direction, from top to left to bottom to right.


Explain clearly why a boy driving a car with his girl friend seated next to him obtains more enjoyment from sharp right-hand turns than from turns to the left?

This is because a right handed turn causes his girlfriend to move towards him (the driver) due to centrifugal acceleration. Left handed turns will push her closer to her door, or away from her boyfriend. Depending on the distance that separates the boy and his girlfriend depends on his enjoyment factor. Therefore, since right handed turns make his girlfriend closer to him, he enjoys them more.


Is the current direction from left to right or right to left?

Why is images in flat mirrors inverted give five reasons?

Actually, the image is NOT inverted. Take a look at the mirror: top is top, bottom is bottom, left is left, and right is right! The reason you see it inverted is more psychological; when you turn around towards the mirror, you turn around your horizontal axis - YOU invert right and left. The same happens when anybody turns towards you. If you look at somebody from behind, that perso's left part is at your left, and its right part is at your right. If the person turns around, towards you, it is THE PERSON that inverts left and right! Note that there is ONE thing that the mirror does invert, and that is back and front.


Why do you lean to the left when the car is turning right?

You lean to the right as your car turns left because of the momentum. While you are driving in a straight line the car and you have forward momentum as the car turns to the left its changing the trajectory of its momentum but since you are not really part of the car you keep following the forward momentum that you had to begin with. So it appears as if you are leaning right but in reality you are just continuing the original forward momentum but due to the cars seat belt you are being pulled by the car and still moving forward giving you the feeling that you are leaning to the right. As you break down the physics further you really are the tangent acceleration along the turning radius of the car. It all makes much more sense when you understand the fundamentals of calculus.

What does right left over the cleft - left right into the night - right right shudder with fright - left left mother bereft mean on cryptids island?

It is an ominous poem that gives the directions to the old house in the woods at New Jersey. Once you have the lantern from the Himalayas, and the matches from the Loch Ness pub, you can go to the dead end circle on the motorcycle, by making the indicated turns on the road. Use the matches, then press the "look around" button and go up the path to the house. The turns are right, left, left, right / right, right, left, left. The shortcut, coincidentally, is just 6 turns: right left/right, left/right, left.


What are the different types of turns involved in driving?

There are three main types of turns involved in driving: right turns, left turns, and U-turns. Right turns involve turning the vehicle to the right, left turns involve turning the vehicle to the left, and U-turns involve making a complete 180-degree turn to go in the opposite direction. It is important to signal and check for oncoming traffic before making any type of turn.

What will happen to the if the car swerves suddenly to the left?

If a car swerves suddenly to the left, the momentum of the vehicle will cause it to lean or shift towards the left side, potentially leading to a loss of control. Passengers may experience a sudden force pushing them to the right, which can cause injury if they are not wearing seatbelts. Additionally, the sudden maneuver could increase the risk of rollover, especially in taller vehicles, and may result in collisions with nearby objects or other vehicles.
