Identify the force that maintains the circular motion of the following:

A bicyclist moving around a flat circular track
A bicycle moving around a flat circular track
A bobsled turning a corner on its track

I think the first two are centripetal force and the last one is gravitational force but i'm not sure.

they are all centripetal because the bobsled is still going around a point. It's just a cut of circle :)

It's centripetal force for all of them.
