Question

A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just on the verge of skidding to the outside of the curve. Which forces are directly responsible for producing the car's centripetal acceleration? a. centripetal force b. Coriolis force c. normal force d. frictional force e. gravitational force

Answer 1

Answer:

option C and D

Explanation:

When a stunt driver is rotating on the banked road the force which is responsible for the centripetal acceleration of the car is Frictional force and the Normal Force.

The Frictional force component of the banked road will protect the car from skidding.

And the normal force component will protect the car from toppling inward due to centripetal force acting on it.

Hence, the correct answer is option C and D
