NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics MCQ Question
What is the condition for a cyclist to avoid slipping while taking a sharp circular turn on an unbanked road?
The frictional force must provide the necessary centripetal force.
The cyclist must reduce speed before the turn.
The turn must have a larger radius.
The road must be banked at an angle.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
On an unbanked road, the frictional force alone is required to provide the necessary centripetal force to keep the cyclist moving in a circular path. If the speed is too large or the turn is too sharp, slipping may occur.
