The correct answer is

First law of motion

The phenomenon where you feel being thrown to one side when a motorcar makes a sharp turn at high speed relates to the concept of inertia, described by the First Law of Motion. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object will remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. In this scenario, while the car changes direction due to the force exerted by the road, your body tends to continue moving in a straight line due to inertia, making you feel like you're being pushed outward.
