Help answer this question below.
It would flip to the left due to CENTRIPETAL force. The friction of the tires is not sufficient to accelerate the car in the curved path.

It would flip in the direction opposite your turn.Centripetal force and the momentum of the vehicle. +3
It would flip too the left because the force being applied to the car from going in a straight line is still there.
+5
It would flip over towards the driver's left caused by centrifugal force.
Your car would flip over the left side. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When you turn your car physically wants to keep going in a straight line, hence it would flip in the direction you were going while you turned.
Think if you were doing donuts.... it would make more sense if your car were to flip towards the outside of the donut rather than the inside.
I hope this makes sense, it's been a while since I've taken or done any physics.
If you were on a sealed road and didn't hit anything (like a gutter or gravel) you wouldn't flip at all. A car's centre of gravity is set low enough that it would not happen.
You would flip if you hit something solid like a gutter, or if you were in gravel - as the gravel would build into a pile in front of your two left tyres and eventually lead to a flip.
You'd flip on your left side...
It would flip to the left cause the weight would all be shifting that way due to the hard right.
You'd flip to your left because the car's force would push you that way.
Yes. I saw this happen right in front of me. I was going down the street and this oldsmobile whipped to the left and the ass end slammed down and made alot of sparks, then flipped forward crushing the roof. I ran up to the car and was expecting a bloddy mess. Thankfully everyone was okay, but oddly enough they never found the driver, he must have skipped out. The police tried to accuse me of being the driver, but thats another story. I do not know how a big oldsmobile can do this, it freaked me out when I saw it. Someone with a strong knowledge of force and weight could answer that. But I saw it happen 20 feet away from me, so yes its very possible.
Know anything about the crash rating of those new smart cars?

If someone was killed on impact, exactly what does that mean? their neck broke? massive fractures? or what?

If a vehicle is on ice and is struck from behind by another vehicle will it sustain less damage than if it were on dry pavement?
