Question

A stone tied to one end of rope and rotated in a circular motion. If the string suddenly breaks, then the stone travels (A) in perpendicular direction (B) in direction of centrifugal force (C) towards centripetal force (D) in tangential direction

If the string suddenly breaks, the centripetal force will be zero only tangential force will be present, then the stone travels in tangential direction.

Q. A stone tied to one end of rope and rotated in a circular motion. If the string suddenly breaks, then the stone travels

in perpendicular direction

in direction of centrifugal force

towards centripetal force

in tangential direction

If the string suddenly breaks, the centripetal force will be zero only tangential force will be present, then the stone travels in tangential direction.
