Also, is it the same as the word that pushes your body left or right when making a turn?

It is Centrifugal force
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force... will give you one of the examples you are looking for.
And to help define the other answers you've gotten:
Inertia, is Newtons first law of motion where he states
"Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight ahead, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed."
Inertia is used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces. Inertia is the property of an object to remain constant in velocity, unless acted upon by an outside force.
Like say you were spinning a ball around on a rope and let go.
And there is no such word as propulation.
The term G force is the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface.
Like say the feeling you get when you're riding a rollor coaster, you are experiencing G force
the impulse of a force is the product of the force and the time during which it acts.
In the technical sense, impulse is a physical quantity, not an event or force. However, the term "impulse" is also used to refer to a change in an object's momentum caused by a fast-acting force. This type of impulse is often idealized so that the change in momentum happens with no change in time. This sort of change is a step change, and is not physically possible. However, this is a useful model for certain computations, such as computing the effects of ideal collisions

The word is, "inertia." When something is in motion, it won't stop unless it is stopped by another force - such as gravity, friction, or in your case - a seatbelt or the windshield.
Centrifugal force is what makes you stick to something when spinning in a circle. G-force is the rate at which one is forcing one's body up away from the pull of gravity. G=Gravity

the law of inertia,a body in motion will stay in motion until an outside force is applied,also called centrifical effect
