NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11
What is the condition for a cyclist to avoid slipping while taking a sharp circular turn on an unbanked road?
A
The frictional force must provide the necessary centripetal force.
B
The cyclist must reduce speed before the turn.
C
The turn must have a larger radius.
D
The road must be banked at an angle.
Correct Answer
Option A
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.
