  • B. centrifugal force
  • C. frictional force
  • D. tension force
Correct Answer: Option B - In mechanics the centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to be moving radially outward from the center of the path of motion on objects moving circularly. When the cars takes turn, the centrifugal force pushes us outward.
B. In mechanics the centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to be moving radially outward from the center of the path of motion on objects moving circularly. When the cars takes turn, the centrifugal force pushes us outward.
