Answer 1

Answer:

When the boy is whirling a stone tied with a string in a  circular path, the centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path. However, when the string breaks the centripetal force ceases and there is no force acting. Thus, the stone as per Newtons first law will continue in a straight line and fly off along the tangent to the circular path.
