I think this is question about refraction, the change in angle resulting from a change in velocity.
Explanation:
The lawnmower changes direction (pulling into the grass area) because it moves more slowly on the grass.
The same effect is observed for solids when a stone is thrown into water, as it slows down it changes direction towards the normal (an imaginary line drawn at
The same effect is more often observed with waves when they enter a denser medium and go slower.
