pushes h you away from the center of the circle Newton s first law If no net force is acting on an object it will ill continue ti with ith th the same velocity l it i inertia ti of f mass Velocity is a vector points to a direction If no net force is acting g on an object j it will not change g its direction A force is acting on the car steering friction but you tend to go in the same direction as you were going It is not a force that pushes you but the lack of it The side door will keep you from falling out it exerts a f force on you and d you exertt a force f on th the door d F21 F F12 PHY
