• net force

• centripetal force

• friction force

• circular force

Which of the following has a direction which is always tangent to the circular path?

• Centripetal force

• Centripetal acceleration

• Velocity

• Speed

Which of the following describes a centripetal force?

• the force that pushes and object around a circle

• the force that keeps the object on the circular path.

  push or pull into the circle

• the force that is pushing or pulling the object out of the circular path.

• the force that makes objects slow down.

When I drive my car really fast in a circle...

• more centripetal force is needed to keep my car in the circle

• less centripetal force is needed to keep my car in the circle.

• my car will flip

• velocity and centripetal force are not related
