Question

A girl is whirling a stone tied with a string. Which force keeps the stone to move in circular motion 
​

Answer 1

➭ AnSwer :-

• When the girl 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.
