Question

what is the force that causes centripetal acceleration when a car goes around a curve? friction gravity normal tension

Explanation:

When a car goes around a curve, the centripetal force is required to keep it moving in a circular path. The force of friction between the car's tires and the road provides this centripetal force. Gravity acts vertically downward, the normal force acts perpendicular to the surface (usually vertically upward in the case of a flat road), and tension is a force in ropes or strings which is not relevant here.

Answer:

Friction
