Explanation:

Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the car makes a left turn, from the car's point of view (non - inertial frame), Isaac appears to lean to the right. This is because Isaac's body tends to continue moving in the original straight - line path (due to inertia) as the car turns left.

Answer:

Newton's 1st Law
