When a car travels around a curve in the road what helps keep the car traveling in a curved path?
The friction of the tyres on the road. Otherwise it would want to maintain it's direction, in a straight line.
What do you call a curved path followed by a projectile?
The curved path is called a trajectory
What causes the path of a projectile to be curved?
The gravitation forces are what causes the path of a projectile to be curved.
When you throw something what do you call its curved path?
The curved path is called projectile motion.
Does a car traveling along a curved path at constant speed have a constant momentum?
No, the magnitude will be constant, but the direction of the momentum will change to reflect the direction of the velocity.
When a car travel around a curve in the road what helps to keep the car traveling in a curved path?
the force that the car has acting on it counteract in a perfect balance with the forces acting against it.

In what direction do objects travel in a circular path accelerate?
Objects traveling in a circular path accelerate towards the center of the circle due to centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is needed to keep the object moving in a curved path.
What are the things that a centripetal force can do?
Keep an object in a circular (or otherwise curved) path.
What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.

A car traveling at 20 mph on a curved exit ramp has a constant velocity?
If it does, it won't stay on the ramp for long. In order to travel in a curved path, the velocity must change even if the speed remains the same.
Does a car traveling along a curved path at constant speed have a constant momentum?
No, the magnitude will be constant, but the direction of the momentum will change to reflect the direction of the velocity.
Why does an object move faster on a straight path than a curved path?
With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.
Why its easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to the curved path of short radius?
The magnitude of centripetal force is calculated by the relation Fc=mv2/r where m is mass of the object,v speed of the object (constant) and r radius of the curved path.If the radius of curved path is large then centripetal force is decrease. Therefore it is easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to a curved path of short radius.
