A car flipped on its side from going around a sharp curve too fast. What force caused the car to flip on its side?
during a sharp turn, there are horizontally two forces acts on the car.
static frictional force that directed inward along the curve
other force is centripetal force directed outward.
if the car flipped, it means the equilibrium of two above forces disturbed i. e. centripetal force overpower the static frictional force
hence
centripetal force is responsible for flipping the car out of the curved track.
