  1. Question 1

    Q1. A car is moving on a circular track. If its speed is increasing, what is the direction of the net force acting on it?

    • A) Towards the center
    • B) Away from the center
    • C) Tangential to the circle
    • D) At an angle to the radius

    Answer: At an angle to the radius

    Explanation: The net force has a radial component (centripetal force) and a tangential component (due to increasing speed).
