A car initially travels north and then turns to
the left along a circular curve. This causes a
package on the seat of the car to slide toward
the right side of the car.
Which of the following is true about the net
force on the package while it is sliding?
1. There is not enough force tangential to the
car’s path to keep the package from sliding.
2. There is not enough force directed toward
the center of the circle to keep the package
from sliding.
3. The force is directed north.
4. There is not enough force directed north
to keep the package from sliding.
5. The force is directed away from the center
of the circle.
