Answer :
Car racers must slow down while taking turns at the track; because the "body in motion tends to continue at straight line and requires a force to turn."
Explanation:
As we know about the Law of Inertia that a body at rest tends to remain at rest and a body in motion tends to remain in motion with a constant velocity until an outer force is applied on it.
When we observe a car racer taking turns on the racing track, he slows down the car. This is because while moving through the corners or turns of the track, the car resists to move in straight direction due to the law of inertia whereas, the driver tends to move in another direction.
In such a situation, the car may get imbalanced and lose the grip of motion in the required direction. Hence, car racer slows the pace to make the balance and turn accordingly without any flaw.
