Why A stone tied at the end of a string is whirled in a circle If the string breaks the stone flies away in tangential direction?
As force acting in a circular path is always tangential to the path
What is the manifestation of centripetal force in a stone tied to a string and whirled horizontally?
The circular path that the stone follows is. It takes centripetal force to move any mass in a circular path.
Suppose you tie a rock to a string and spin it in a vertical plane In what direction will the rock move if the string breaks exactly when the rock has passed the lowest point and is in a horizontal?
It goes horizontally. The string is the only force that is keeping the rock from going in a straight line (the rock will go in a straight line in the absence of a force because of its "inertia") Thus, if the force is removed when the rock's instantaneous velocity is horizontal, it will continue to travel horizontally thereafter (in the absence of gravity, another force)..
How can you verify the verticality of an object using a piece of string with a weight on the end?
For this hammer a nail very close to the object into the object and hang the string on that nail. Then let the string with weight stop swinging (best to do it in an enclosed room with no wind). When the string stops swinging, if the straight-edged object is parallel with the string, then the object is completely vertical
What causes the sounds that come from the guitar?
In an acoustic guitar - it's a combination of the string vibrating, and the sound being amplified by the tone hole. In an electric guitar, the vibrating string causes current to flow in the pick-up coil - which is then fed to an amplifier.

What causes a string of lights to go out?
Something breaks the circuit.
Whirl a rock at the end of a string and it follows a circular path if the string breaks the tendency of the rock is to?
follow a straight -line path
What would happen to an object if the centripetal force acting on it stops?
Picture a ball on a string being whirled about the head of an experimenter. If the string breaks, the centripetal force disappears. The ball leaves on a tangent path form its (previous) circular path. Yes, it's that simple. The string provided centripetal force, by virtue of its tensile strength, to the ball to keep that ball moving in a circle. When the string broke, there was no force left to accelerate the ball "in" and keep it moving in an arc.
When is a stone tied to a string and whirled is most likely to break and why?
If you allow the string to wrap around the finger, as the radius diminishes, the force on the string increases , according to : > force = mass (of stone) * (velocity2 / radius) (assuming the velocity remains constant)
In what direction does an object rotating by a string travel if suddenly the string breaks?
inward
What does it mean if the string on a picture breaks?
It means you need a stronger string. Try using picture wire instead of string.
What is the manifestation of centripetal force in a stone tied to a string and whirled horizontally?
The circular path that the stone follows is. It takes centripetal force to move any mass in a circular path.
How precise is the ruler originally used to measure a string?
the ruler is straight and the string is not so it makes it harder for you to measure the string

What happens if the string on a compound bow breaks?
well that depends. if you are holding your bow and it breaks then you could get hurt and your bow could possibly break. if it breaks when your not holding it, then it might damage your bow. if it doesn't damage your bow, you can take it to be restrung or do it yourself. be careful of dry-releasing (pulling back the string without an arrow on it) because you can break the string and/or break your bow.
How do you draw a straight line along the side of a boat that is out of the water?
Use a string for a straight line.
