Shows a car travelling around a bend in the road. The car is travelling at a constant speed. There is a resultant force acting on the car. This resultant force is called the centripetal force. (i) In which direction, A, B, C or D, does the centripetal force act on the car? Tick ( ) one box. A B C D (1) (ii) State the name of the force that provides the centripetal force.

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the missing figure is in the attachment below.

When an object is travelling around a circular path, there is a force that tends to draw that object towards the center of the circular path and keep the object moving in the curved path, that force is called the centripetal force. From this description, it can be deduced that the direction of the centripetal force that acts on the car (in the attachment below) is D.

The name of the force that provides this centripetal force is frictional force. This is the force that prevents the car from slipping off the road; keeping it moving in the curved path.
