Conceptual Questions
A car is driving around a perfectly circular curve at a constant speed. What is the direction of the net force acting on the car? The net force is directed away from the center of the circular curve. The net force points in the same direction as the velocity. The net force acting on the car is zero. The net force is directed towards the center of the curve
