What i am wondering if driving in a circle if the mass of the object moving, why is it drawn outward because the current acceleration is in forward motion?
When driving in a circle, objects inside the vehicle appear to move outward due to inertia, which is the tendency of objects to maintain their straight-line motion. This phenomenon is explained by Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Passengers in a car feel as if they are being pulled outward because they are trying to maintain their straight-line trajectory while the car turns. This is evident when observing a motorcyclist who, if falling off mid-corner, continues in a straight line rather than moving outward.
