A car is moving with high velocity when it has a turn. A force acts on it outwardly because of
Correct answer: C. Centrifugal force
- A. Centipetal force
- B. Gravitational force
- C. Centrifugal force
- D. All the above
Explanation
Option C is correct.A car is moving with high velocity when it has a turn . A force acts on it outwardly because of centrifugal force.Centrifugal force is an apparent force that acts on a body moving in a curved path. It is directed away from the center of the curve, and it is not a real force. Centrifugal force is caused by the inertia of the body, which resists any change in its motion. When a car takes a turn, the car's inertia wants to keep it moving in a straight line. However, the friction between the tires and the road forces the car to turn. This causes the car to experience centrifugal force, which acts outwardly on the car.

About Newton's Laws of Motion
Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
