Question
- what phenomenon is responsible for the feeling of flying outward when traveling in a circle? centripetal force newtons third law of motion inertia gravity
Brief Explanations
In circular - motion, the feeling of flying outward is due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. As an object moves in a circle, it wants to move in a straight - line path (by inertia), and this gives the sensation of being pushed outward. Centripetal force acts towards the center, Newton's third law is about action - reaction pairs, and gravity is a force between masses and not related to this circular - motion sensation.
