Question

1. what phenomenon is responsible for the feeling of flying outward when traveling in a circle?

○ inertia
○ newtons third law of motion
○ centripetal force
○ gravity

Explanation:

• Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When moving in a circle, the object has a tendency to move in a straight line (due to inertia), which gives the feeling of flying outward as the centripetal force keeps it in circular motion.
• Newton's third law involves action - reaction pairs and is not related to this outward - feeling in circular motion.
• Centripetal force is the force that pulls the object towards the center of the circle, not what causes the outward - feeling.
• Gravity is a force of attraction between masses and is not related to this circular - motion - related outward - feeling.

Answer:

A. inertia
