Where is the centripetal force directed on a banked curve?

Answer: The net force on a car traveling around a curve is the centripetal force, Fc = m v2 / r, directed toward the center of the curve. The centripetal force is directed at right angles to the motion and also along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. In order for a car to move around a circular track, something must provide a centipetal force. One source of the centripetal force is friction between the tires and the road. This means that the tires do not need to supply any friction at all to keep the car from slipping sideways. ...

Hope this helps... stay safe and have a great day!!! :D
