What is the cenrtipetal force that allows a car to move around a sharp curve in a roadway?

  Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "centripetal force car" to get these possible sources: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/Class/circles/u6l1c.html http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/Physics/PhyNet/Mechanics/Circular%20Motion/turning_a_car.htm http://www.teachersdomain.org/resources/phy03/sci/phys/mfw/centrip/index.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/corf.html Use <Find> command within the sites to find "centripetal." In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

  well the answer is that if it is on a dry road then it will do a sharp turn, but if it is on a wet road it will slip away.
