... you inward toward the center of the turn.
Yes. That follows from Newton's Second Law: without a centripetal force, there could be no centripetal acceleration. Since the car accelerates towards the center of the circle, it follows that there must be a force that causes this acceleration.
Centripetal force is a force that is required to exist to have a circular motion. Thus the centripetal force can be any force that is able to accomplish this task. Examples of centripetal forces are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the frictional force, or the constraint forces. The centripetal force depends on the system that is involved in be in a spin of a rigid body, or of a planetary motion, etc. Each particular system that requires a rotation or a spin needs to have a corresponding centripetal force.
Centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle of motion that an object is traveling in.
Yes. Centripetal is center seeking force. Centrifugal is center fleeing force.
If an object moves in a circle, the centripetal acceleration can be calculated as speed squared divided by the radius. The centripetal force, of course, is calculated with Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Therefore, the centripetal force will be equal to mass x speed2 / radius.

It is false. It is centripetal force that pushes you towards the door of the car opposite the direction of the turn.
Yes. That follows from Newton's Second Law: without a centripetal force, there could be no centripetal acceleration. Since the car accelerates towards the center of the circle, it follows that there must be a force that causes this acceleration.

When you're driving in a car and turn a corner, centripetal force from the door of the car helps you move along the circular path of the corner.
Centripetal force acts on all masses subjected to the cornering force. The whole vehicle has centripetal force acting on the tires, via friction, allowing the vehicle to corner. If you are free to move within the vehicle, yes, the door will stop you being flung outward.
The centripetal force is the force with which the centrifuge pushes some object inwards. The opposite force, of course, is the object pushing the centrifuge outwards.
The road pushes gainst the tires.
Force of Friction
The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is known as the centripetal force, which acts towards the center. The velocity of the object moving in a circle will be tangential to the circle.
A cyclist bends so as to increase frictional force which produces enough centripetal force to enable him/her to remain a circular path(since a corner is a part of a circular path). Note:Frictional force produces centripetal force in this case
