Question
- when are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelerating? if you were in a car that moved with absolutely constant velocity, would you be aware of motion?
In a vehicle, acceleration causes a non - inertial frame with forces acting on the body (like the push or pull when speeding up or slowing down), making motion more noticeable. In a vehicle with constant velocity (inertial frame), there are no additional forces due to acceleration, so motion may not be as perceptible without external references.

You are most aware of your motion when the vehicle is accelerating. If in a car with absolutely constant velocity, you would not be as aware of motion without external reference points, as there are no acceleration - related forces acting on your body to signal a change in motion.
