When a car makes a sharp left turn, what causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car?

is it inertia??
Answered by drwls
Yes. Their inertia makes the natural path of their motion be a straight line. To keep going straight while the car turns, their bodies must move to the right. Eventually friction or side wall forces make them stay in their seats.
