Question

Explain with a free-body diagram how banking provides the centripetal force necessary for a car moving along a circular path.

Answer 1

Answer:

As a car makes a turn, the force of friction acting upon the turned wheels of the car provides centripetal force required for circular motion. ... As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle.
