to rotate in circular motion?​

Answer 1

Answer:

direction of acceleration of stone will be tangent to the circular motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion (resulting from a net external force) the centripetal acceleration(ac); centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking.

  Hence,The direction of acceleration of stone is towards the centre of the circular path.
