    What provides the centripetal force to a satellite revolving around the earth ?

    Centripetal force and centrifugal force .

    A : During horizontal circular turn of a car, the centripetal force required should be less than the limiting friction between its tyres and road. R : The centripetal force to car is provided by the frictional force between its tyres and the road.

    A car of mass 1000 kg moves on a circular path with constant speed of 16 m/s. It is turned by 90º after travelling 628 m on the road. The centripetal force acting on the car is-

    Assertion : A car moving on a horizontal road may be thrown out of the road in taking a turn due to lack of proper centripetal force. Reason : If a particle moves in a circle describing equal angles in equal intervals of time. Then the velocity vector changes its magnitude.
