Transcribed Image Text:#2. A car on a level road turns a quarter circle counter-clockwise. Static friction force causes the centripetal acceleration. Work done by static friction is A) positive B) negative C) zero
Expert Solution
Step 1

The expression for the work done by the static friction is,

W=fscosθ

Here, θ is the angle between the frictional force f and the displacement s.
