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

Verified by Experts

The velocity of particle is along the tangent to the circle. The centripetal force vanishes when string breaks. Thus the particle files off tangentially.
