NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a car moving in a circular path on a flat road. Which of the following forces provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the car moving in a circle?
Static friction between the tyres and the road
Kinetic friction between the tyres and the road
The gravitational force acting on the car
The normal force from the road on the car
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the context of circular motion on an unbanked road, static friction is responsible for providing the centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a circular path.
