A car is moving in a circular path at a constant speed. What provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the car moving in this path?

The car’s inertia resisting any change in direction

The car’s mass pulling it towards the centre of the circle

The engine’s power pushing the car forward

The friction between the tyres and the road

The friction between the car's tires and the road provides the necessary centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a circular path.

This frictional force acts towards the center of the circular path, allowing the car to change direction without sliding out.
