Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
When a motor car makes a sharp turn at high speed, the passengers sitting inside get thrown to one side of the car. This happens due to inertia. Inertia is the property of an object due to which it resists the change in its velocity. When a motor car makes a sharp turn at high speed, passengers inside the car try to resist the change of motion due to the inertia of direction. And the passengers experience an outward push in the opposite direction of the turn.
The correct statement would be, when a motor car makes a sharp turn at high speed, the position of passengers inside the car changes.
