Q: When the car turns on a curved road, the passengers sitting in it feel a force on themselves in the opposite direction of the center, this force is due to ………….
  • A. centrifugal force
  • B. inertia
  • C. centripetal force
  • D. gravitational force
Correct Answer: Option B - The object in the inertia stops at rest until an external force is applied to it. It is necessary to exert force (Centrifugal force) on the object to move it, so when the car turns on a curved road, the passengers sitting in it feel a force in the opposite direction to the center, this force is due to inertia.
