Multiple Choice Question

For a car rounding a curve, unless the car has already begun to skid, the static force of friction produces 2 centrifugal acceleration centrifugal force centripetal acceleration gravity

Transcript text: Multiple Cholce Question For a car rounding a curve, unless the car has already begun to skid, the static force of friction produces $\qquad$ 2 centrifugal acceleration centrifugal force centripetal acceleration gravity

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Forces Involved

When a car rounds a curve, it experiences forces that keep it on its path. The key force here is the static friction between the tires and the road, which prevents the car from skidding.

Step 2: Identifying the Correct Type of Acceleration

The static friction provides the necessary force to change the direction of the car, which is a centripetal force. This force is directed towards the center of the curve, causing centripetal acceleration.

Step 3: Choosing the Correct Answer

Given the options, the static force of friction is responsible for producing centripetal acceleration, not centrifugal acceleration, centrifugal force, or gravity.

Final Answer

$\boxed{\text{centripetal acceleration}}$
