Question
A car is rounding a bend as shown in the diagram. Which arrow correctly shows the direction of the centrifugal force applied on the car?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Hint:
The centrifugal force is a fictitious force
The correct answer is: D
The centrifugal force is a fictitious force. This force is assumed by an observer moving along the body in a circular motion to act in the direction away from the centre of circular path.
So D is correct
