Eli5: Why can you feel the forces of the car more as a passenger than the driver
In: Physics
There’s a Radiolab somewhere that talks about how your body will filter its own physical actions from your conscious perception to a small degree which should extend to tools we use a lot. Noticed it a lot recently between our two cars as one has quite a bit more acceleration and as I got used to how the fast one responds my brain definitely hiccups a bit when I do drive the slower one and it feels like it’s not responding right. Like my body is braced just a tad for acceleration that doesn’t happen and there’s a subtle feeling I’m not moving as fast as I should be.
