Sorry for not following the template, this is a follow up to a few other old posts.
In solutions to problems where a car negotiates an unbanked turn, I usually see that the centripetal force is supplied by friction. My understanding is that friction applies in the direction opposite motion. So there is some outward radial motion the friction is counteracting? What force supplies this or is my analysis incorrect? Is it the wheels of the car?
