Thanks man,

Keep it simple.. this means that if the car is accelerated during the turn the net frictional force points in the direction of the net acceleration vector?

What do you mean by the direction the tires are facing? You said momentum is what keeps the car moving but how do you get that velocity for the momentum? It comes from the static friction between the tires and the road. That's what i think.. so i don't think there's any wrong representing...

I know that the net acceleration points in between the tangential and centripetal acceleration... What i wanted to confirm was that the friction force also acts in the same direction? and not towards the center right Yes that happens while its not accelerating but when the car is accelerating...

Hi guys... So i searched the net for 2 whole days and found a couple of topics on how static friction is responsible for creating the force required to keep the body moving in a circle.. Friction points towards the center of the circle ONLY when the car is free wheeling i.e moving at a constant...
