sivuttaiskiihtyvyyttä
Sivuttaiskiihtyvyyttä, often translated as lateral acceleration, refers to the acceleration experienced by an object perpendicular to its direction of motion. In vehicles, this typically manifests as acceleration sideways, such as when turning. This force is a consequence of Newton's second law, where a change in the direction of velocity requires a net force acting towards the center of the turn. The magnitude of the lateral acceleration depends on the speed of the vehicle and the radius of the turn. Higher speeds or tighter turns result in greater lateral acceleration.
The effects of lateral acceleration are most commonly felt by occupants within a moving system. During a
