$A$ passenger in a moving car slips to one side of the seat when the car takes a sharp turn. Give the reason for this.

(N/A) This phenomenon occurs due to the $inertia$ of direction. According to Newton's first law of motion,a body continues to move in a straight line unless an external force acts upon it. When the car takes a sharp turn,the car changes its direction,but the passenger's body,due to $inertia$,tends to maintain its original straight-line path. Consequently,the passenger feels a push towards the opposite side of the turn.
