Mark Lundquist is correct.

Here’s an analogy: Two cars drive from smooth pavement onto a very rough dirt road.

One car strikes at an angle, so one front tire hits the dirt road first and slows down, while the other front tire is still on the pavement. This car curves due to the difference in speed of its front tires.

The second car strikes the dirt road straight on, and both front tires slow down at the same time. This car does not curve.
