Ramon and Sally are observing a toy car speed up as it goes around a circular track. Ramon says, “The car’s speeding up, so there must be a net force parallel to the track.” Sally replies: “I don’t think so.  It’s moving in a circle, and that requires centripetal acceleration. The net force has to point from the center of the circle to the car.”  Select the correct statement.
