You tie a brick to the end of a rope and whirl the brick around you in a horizontal circle Describe the path of the brick after you suddenly let go of the rope?

If you suddenly let go of the rope, the brick will move in a direction tangent to the circle at that point. The only cause of circular motion is centripetal force which is tension of string or indirectly force of hand in this case. As soon as you vanish it, no circular motion is possible and projectile motion is performed.


What happens when you tie a stone to a string and whirl it?

When we tie a stone to a string and whirl it, it moves in a circular path.If the velocity becomes too high then the stone changes to a mass of electrons.It starts radiating energy and ultimately falls in our hand.the energy emitted by the stone is given by E = hv.Where h is Plancks constant and v is the radial velocity of the stone.


When a body moves in a circle how force takes part there?

For circular motion to occur, there must be a centripetal force( a force that is always directed towards the centre of the circle). The centripetal force is defined as F = mv2/r Where F is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the orbiting body, v is the velocity of the body, and r is the distance to the centre of the circle. If you whirl a conker above your head, the centripetal force is provided by the tension of the string. For a planet orbiting the sun, the centripetal force is provided by gravity.

What does whirld mean?

There is no such English word for whirld. If you meant "whirl" then this mean turning in a circular motion. Similar to spinning.

Is whirl an noun?

Yes, the word 'whirl' is both a noun (whirl, whirls) and a verb (whirl, whirls, whirling, whirled).Examples:The star made her entrance in a whirl of excitement. (noun)The propeller began to whirl then the helicopter began to lift. (verb)

Why is force centripetal?

Centripetal force is not very difficult to understand, yet most people make it seem overly complex. Centripetal force is an inward force applied to an object that is in circular motion (uniform circular motion). This inward force is what centripetally accelerates an object, which means the object is accelerating around the circle. DO NOT EVER BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. THIS FORCE IS FAKE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO FORCE THAT IS PUSHING OUT ON OBJECT TRAVELING IN UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! All it means is that there is no centripetal force to stop an object from moving out of the circle. An example is a car. If you are sitting in a car, when you go around a bend at a pretty decent speed, you seem to lean in the opposite direction of the turn. this is actually false. you are travelling in a straight line due to your inertia. When the car turns, you continue in that straight line, obviously you don't fly out of the car, because the car applies an inward force on you when you hit the side to keep you centripetally accelerating. Friction is one of the few forces that can stop an object from centripetally accelerating. when i mentioned a straight line due to inertia, I am talking about the velocity of the centripetally accelerating object. This velocity vector is tangent to the circlular path of the object. So that means that if you wanted to whirl a rope over your head like a cowboy and throw a rock at something, you would have to let go of the rope when it was perpendicular to the target. target------------------{((()))}------------------ | | ------- | rock O
