The force responsible for a car moving steadily along a no-friction icy banked curve is due to
A)centrifugal effects.
B)the normal force at right angles to the curved surface.
C)the radial component of the normal force.
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The radial component of the normal force provides the necessary centripetal force that allows the car to move in a circular path on the icy banked curve without slipping, as there is no friction to contribute to this force.
