This behavior is explained by Newton’s first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

During a sharp turn, the inertia of our body causes us to resist the change in direction applied by the engine, resulting in us slipping to one side of the seat.

We tend to get thrown to one side due to our body’s inertia, which causes us to continue in our straight-line motion while the car changes direction.

These experiences can be explained by Newton’s laws of motion, particularly the first law (law of inertia).

We tend to fall backwards due to inertia. When the bus suddenly starts moving, our body initially remains at rest while our feet, in contact with the floor, move with the bus, causing a backward motion of our upper body.
