Consider the following situation: You are driving a car with
constant speed around a horizontal circular track. On a
piece of paper, draw a Free Body Diagram (FBD) for the
car. The net force on the car is FN

22% A. Zero
67% B. Pointing
11% C. Pointing
radially inward
radially outward

SF = ma = mv2/R
“This is why many racetracks
have banked roadways”
“Centripetal force is always pointing inward"
“Ever spin stuff in a bowl? It gravitates outward.”
