Cornering in auntie Mildreds Lada

On another post Midgard kindly points this out:

What Engineer is pointing out is that when you're travelling at a constant rate in a car you don't feel anything (except going around corners but that is another topic). When you accelerate and brake you get pushed backwards and forwards respectively (watch the fluffy dice).

If you can't notice it in a car go for a trip on a plane and you'll notice it.

It is Sanirius here and not the Engineer that doesn't understand basic physics. Constant velocity would mean there would be no "gravity", you need constant acceleration for this.

But would this be the same in my Auntie Mildreds Lada?

Does she have fluffy dice? I think this could've gone into Everything Else.

Does she have fluffy dice?

I dont think she into fluffy dice, although she does have one of those traffic light air fresheners.

I dont think she has ever driven into anything else!!!

What about fluffy handcuffs? Does she hang the air freshener from the rear view mirror?

Even when she was drunk?

I dunno, you may have to ask Uncle Fred about that.

Does she hang the air freshener from the rear view mirror?

She Does Indeed!!

Even when she was drunk?

She only gets drunk when she goes to bingo, and I think Deirdre's ol man always drives them up there!

Does she hang the air freshener from the rear view mirror?

She Does Indeed!!

Then you'll be able to observe the different forces in action.

On a long straight stretch when the velocity is constant and the windows are the air freshener will hang downwards. When you start to accelerate it will move towards the back of the vehicle.

Cheers mate, I will ask her to accelerate next time I get a lift anywhere with the ol girl.
