A stone tied at the end of sring is whirled in a circle. If the string break , the stone flies away tangentially . Why ?

Text Solution

The velocity of the stone at any instant is along the tangent to the circle at that instant When the string breaks centripetal force whirling the stone vanishes Therefore on account of inertia the stone flies off tangentially .
