Q.	What type of force acts on a car moving around a curve?
A.	Centrifugal force
B.	Cohesive force
C.	Centripetal force
D.	Gravitational force
Answer» C. Centripetal force
Explanation: Any object moving in a circle (or along a circular path) experiences a centripetal force. It is this physical force that pushes or pulls the object towards the center of the circle. In the case of a car moving along a curve, as it makes a turn, the force of friction acting upon the turned wheels of the car provides centripetal force required for circular motion.
