Will force can be felt when you put your hand on the window of a moving car?

Yes, you can feel a force when you put your hand on the window of a moving car. There are two main reasons for this.

First, the air flowing past the car exerts a force on your hand. This force is known as *air resistance* or *drag*. The faster the car is moving, the greater the air resistance, and the harder it will feel to keep your hand on the window.

Second, the car itself is accelerating forward, which means it is changing its velocity. This change in velocity also exerts a force on your hand, known as the *inertial force*. The greater the acceleration of the car, the greater the inertial force, and the harder it will feel to keep your hand on the window.

In addition to these two main forces, there may also be some other smaller forces acting on your hand, such as friction between your skin and the window, and the weight of your hand.
