If the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value, and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks?
पर्याय
The stone moves radially outwards.
The stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.
The stone flies off at an angle with the tangent whose magnitude depends on the speed of the particle.

उत्तर
The stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.
Explanation:
The trajectory of the stone after the string breaks, i.e., the stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.The velocity is always tangential to the circle at every point during the circular motion. When the string breaks, the particle proceeds to move in the tangential direction in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.
