Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An object moving in a circle will continue in a circular motion when released.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An object moving in a circle will continue in circular motion when released. An object in circular motion will fly out radially (curved) when released.

Detailed explanation-2: -Circular motion is that motion in which object is moving in a circular path. Example of object in circular motion is merry go round.

Detailed explanation-3: -The force causing circular motion is directed toward the center of the circle. The speed of the object does not change, but the direction of movement is constantly changing. Understand the direction of motion for an object traveling in a circle and direction of motion as soon as it leaves the circle.

Detailed explanation-4: -To summarize, an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed. While the speed of the object is constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity, being a vector, has a constant magnitude but a changing direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -For this reason, it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.
