Q. A boy is swinging a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle.If the string snaps
Solution:
At the moment the string breaks, the ball is moving on a horizontal line tangential to the circular path it was tracking. When the string is broken, it’s force on the ball disappears and the ball is influenced only by gravity. It follows a parabolic path to the floor in the direction of the tangent to the circular path it had before.
