What happens if centripetal force is absent?
Answers
Answer:
The force which keeps an object in a circular path with constant speed acts towards the centre. Hence, if the centripetal force is absent, the smaller object will tend to move in straight line motion which will be the tangent to the circular path in which it was revolving.
Explanation:
It's necessary to have a centripetal force to maintain a circular motion because if there is no resultant force acting on an object (that is all forces acting on the object add to zero), then the object travels with uniform motion in a straight line, or stays at rest.
Answer:
Without a net centripetal force, an object cannot travel in circular motion. In fact, if the forces are balanced, then an object in motion continues in motion in a straight line at constant speed. ... The ball on the other hand will continue to move in the same direction since there is no unbalanced force acting upon it.
