When you're driving in a car and turn a corner, centripetal force from the door of the car helps you move along the circular path of the corner.
When a car turns right, the main forces at play are friction and centripetal force. Friction between the tires and the road helps provide the necessary grip for the tires to turn the car. Centripetal force acts towards the center of the turn, helping to keep the car moving in a curved path.
When you slow a car to turn a corner, you are reducing the speed to adjust the car's trajectory. This is done to counteract the centrifugal force that pushes the car outward during the turn. Slowing down allows the tires to maintain better traction and helps the car maintain control through the turn.
False. Centrifugal force does not push you towards the door of the car. In reality, it is the absence of centripetal force (the inward force that keeps you moving in a circle) that causes you to move toward the outside of the turn.
When a car takes a sharp left turn, the inertia of the car's body tries to keep it going straight, causing a force known as centrifugal force to push outward on the car. This force can make the car feel like it's being pushed to the right, as the car's weight shifts towards the right side to counteract the centrifugal force.
Centrifugal force is not a real force; it's a perceived force that occurs due to inertia. As you turn a corner in a car, your body wants to continue moving in a straight line due to inertia. This "push" you feel is actually your body's resistance to the change in direction.
... you inward toward the center of the turn.
You would apply force to the accelerator to make the car go faster.
This occurs due to inertia, which is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their motion. When you make a sharp turn in a car, your body tends to continue moving in a straight line due to inertia, causing it to lean in the opposite direction of the turn as the car accelerates into the curve before adjusting its inertia.
Slow down car speed and then turn the steering wheel to move in a direction (left or right). Make sure that your car speed is enough to make turn and you have full control on your car.
Force and momentum
When a simple machine helps reduce force, the distance the object moves increases. This is known as a trade-off between force and distance in mechanical systems. By applying less force over a longer distance, simple machines make it easier to perform work.
