Question

Suppose an object is moving through space in a straight line. What could cause the object to start moving in a circle?
A.
a secondary force that pushes the object away from a center point
B.
an increase in the object's mass, which causes the object to slow down
C.
a secondary force that pulls the object toward a center point
D.
an increase in the object's inertia due to friction

Answer 1

Answer:

option C because according to option rest all are slowing down the motion with intent to stop it while in option c the main focus is to alter it's direction

Answer 2

An object is moving through space in a straight line a secondary force that pulls the object towards a centre point is responsible for the movement of the object in circular points.

Option C.

Explanation:

• By the law of gravitation two or more objects always pools Each Other due to gravitation.

• As a result of this if a body of mass is moving in a gravity free zone that is space is suddenly brought in contact with a zone where there is considerable gravitational force then it starts moving in a circular path elliptical path in which the the secondary force pulls the object towards a Central point.
