A car on a flat road rounds a bend without skidding. The centripetal force comes from:

AFixation
BFlotation
CFriction
DFraction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Friction
1. No rope or rail holds the car in. 2. Only the tyres grip the road sideways. 3. So friction supplies the force. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 6, Applications of Newton's Laws._
