Question

when a car at high speed makes a sharp turn, the driver in a car tends to get thrown to the side opposite to the turn. this is due to the.
(a) inertia of motion
(b) inertia of time
(c) inertia of rest
(d) inertia of direction​

Answer 1

Inertia of direction.

• Whenever a driver takes a sharp turn while driving a considerable high speed, he tends to sway (or thrown) to the opposite direction.

• This phenomenon occurs due to inertia of direction.

• We can also explain this with the help of concept of centrifugal force. When the driver takes a turns, he is covering an arc of a circular motion. Hence, he experiences CENTRIFUGAL FORCE that pushes him to opposite side.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Inertia of direction.

Whenever a driver takes a sharp turn while driving a considerable high speed, he tends to sway (or thrown) to the opposite direction.

This phenomenon occurs due to inertia of direction.

We can also explain this with the help of concept of centrifugal force. When the driver takes a turns, he is covering an arc of a circular motion. Hence, he experiences CENTRIFUGAL FORCE that pushes him to opposite side.
