उत्तर
- The stone's velocity varies as it is thrown in a circular motion.
- The acceleration of stone is variable
- The direction of acceleration of stone is towards the centre of the circular path.
- Force of tension in the string provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
- The reaction of tension is away from the centre of the circular path.
