A car is moving in a circular path at a constant speed. What provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the car moving in this path?
Answer: The friction between the tyres and the road
Explanation
The friction between the car's tires and the road provides the necessary centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a circular path.
This frictional force acts towards the center of the circular path, allowing the car to change direction without sliding out.
