NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics MCQ Question
Consider a scenario where a cyclist is taking a circular turn on a level road with a given speed and radius. Which force provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the cyclist from slipping?
Static friction between the tyres and the road
Gravitational force acting on the cyclist
Normal force from the ground
Kinetic friction due to the cyclist's speed
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
On an unbanked road, static friction is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force to prevent slipping during circular motion, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
