You are exerting a centripetal force on the car door. b. The door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn. c. The car seat is exerting a centripetal force on you, but not enough to keep you in place. d. The turn exerts a centrifugal force on you that throws you out toward the door. 2. An object is moving in a circle at a constant speed. From this you can be certain that a. There is at least one force acting on the object. b. There is no net force acting on the object. c. There are at least two forces acting on the object, which balance each other. d. There are at least two forces acting on the object, which do not balance each other. e. There must be more than two forces acting on the object.Explanation / Answer
