Question

An object is moving at a uniform speed in a counter clockwise direction in a uniform circular motion. At the location shown, the centripetal force stops acting on the object. Which path will the object follow?

hintHint:

In uniform circular motion, at any point the velocity is directed towards the tangent of the circle.

The correct answer is:


    Therefore when the centripetal force stops acting on the body in an uniform circular motion, the body flies away tangentially.
