When rounding a curve in a fast-moving car, we experience a feeling of being thrown outward (Fig.). It is sometimes said that this effect occurs because of an outward centrifugal (center-fleeing) force. However, in terms of Newton's laws for a ground-based observer, this pseudo, or false, force doesn't really exist. Analyze the situation in the figure to show that this is the case (that is, that the force does not exist). [ Hint : Start with Newton's first law.]
