A stone tie with a string held at one end is being rotated at a constant angular velocity in the air. The tangential velocity will remain constant if _______ Correct Answer The plane of motion of the stone is parallel to the ground

When the plane motion of the stone is parallel to the ground, the tangential velocity experiences acceleration in two directions, one towards the centre and other towards the ground. Both these directions are perpendicular to the direction of the tangential velocity. Hence the tangential velocity will not change.
