An athlete is running around a bend in a track at a constant speed.
What is the direction of the resultant force on the athlete as they go around the bend?
Parallel to the motion and in the direction of the motion
Parallel to the motion and in the opposite direction to the motion
Perpendicular to the motion and pointing towards the inside of the bend
Perpendicular to the motion and pointing towards the outside of the bend
