GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -When a stone is going around a circular path, the instantaneous velocity of stone is acting as tangent to the circle. When the string breaks, the centripetal force stops to act. Due to inertia, the stone continues to move along the tangent to circular path.

Detailed explanation-2: -For object’s moving in circular motion, there is a net force acting towards the center which causes the object to seek the center. To understand the importance of a centripetal force, it is important to have a sturdy understanding of the Newton’s first law of motion-the law of inertia.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path.

Detailed explanation-5: -ball flies away tangentially. Centripetal and centrifugal forces: When the ball is tied to a string, it has centripetal and centrifugal forces along the radial direction of motion, so when the rope breaks, there is no force in the radial direction, and the ball flies off tangentially due to inertia.
