  1. Question 1

    Q1. A car is moving in a circular path on a frictionless surface. What provides the necessary centripetal force?

    • A) Friction
    • B) Normal force
    • C) Gravity
    • D) Tension in the string

    Answer: Normal force

    Explanation: On a frictionless surface, the normal force can provide the necessary centripetal force if the surface is banked, utilizing the horizontal component of normal force.
