Question

You are riding in the passenger seat of a car as it goes around a tight turn. You slide across the seat to the passenger side door. Which statement below properly describes what is happening? a. You are exerting a centripetal force on the door. b. The door and seat are exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn. c. The car seat exerts a centripetal force on you, but not enough to keep you in place, so the door exerts the rest. d. The centrifugal force is greater than the force of friction between you and the seat, so you slide outward.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

answer C looks good

there isn't really a "centrifugal " force. :/ when we are pushed "back" in a car seat.. it's not because there is a force pushing us backwards... but a force pushing us forwards.. just like when turning too, a force pushes us into the corner, not a force pushing out of the corner. :)
