Question
why do you lean towards the left when a car turns right
1/22
because of buoyancy
because of velocity
because of gravity
because of inertia
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When the car turns right, your body, due to inertia, wants to continue moving in the original straight - line path. So, relative to the car (which has started moving to the right), you lean to the left. Buoyancy is related to fluids and objects floating/sinking, velocity is just a measure of motion (not the cause here), and gravity acts vertically (not the reason for this horizontal lean).
