Any object moving in a circle (or along a circular path) experiences a centripetal force that pushes or pulls the object towards the center of the circle. In the case of a car moving along a curve, as it makes a turn, the force of friction acting upon the turned wheels of the car provides centripetal force required for circular motion. The net force on a car travelling around a curve is the centripetal force, F MV r c .. 2 , directed toward the center of the curve. To minimize the effect of this force, banking of curve is observed on curved paths.
