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


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.


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.


What is going to happen if you Imagine tying a string to a ball and twirling it around you how is it similar to the moon orbiting earth?

The string acts like the gravity of the earth. the circular motion of the ball imitates the orbit of he moon.


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.


A ball is whirled on a string then the string breaks what causes the ball to move off in a straight line?

inertia


What causes a string of lights to go out?

Something breaks the circuit.


What are some examples of forces that can act on objects to move them in a circular path?

-- Gravity (satellite in circular orbit) -- Electrostatic force -- Tension in a string (yo-yo) -- Constraint (marble in a circular track)


A ball attached to a string is being swung in a clockwise circular path Assume the string breaks In which direction will the ball be traveling an instant later?

There weren't any pictures attached to this question. But the answer would be in direction D where the line is going to the right with an arrow on the end.


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.
