Q: Motion of a spinning top is an example of -
  • A. centripetal force
  • B. centrifugal force
  • C. gravitational force
  • D. frictional force
Correct Answer: Option A - In circular motion, a force acts on a body whose direction is always towards the center of the circle. This force is called the centripetal force The rotation of the spinning top is an example of this force. Some other examples of this force being used in daily life - the car turning on the road, mud-guard on wheels, the earth moving around the sun, while turning its bicycle by the cyclist, tilting his body towards the center with the bicycle Take etc.
