The particles of mud fly off tangentially from the wheel of a moving vehicle. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the particles of mud fly off from the wheel they continue to move with uniform velocity along a. straight line which is the tangent to the wheel. This is due to inertia of motion.
