A stone of mass m tied to one end of a string of length l is rotated in a circle with the other end of the string as the centre. The speed of the stone is v. If the string breaks, the stone will ___________ Correct Answer Move along tangent

When the string breaks, the centripetal force becomes zero. The stone moves along the tangent to the circular path. That is in the direction of velocity.

Which of the following statements is/are true? A: If a circle is formed from a wire, which was initially in the shape of a semi-circle, then ratio of radius of circle and that of semi-circle will be 7: 11. B: If in a semi-circle of radius ‘r’, another semi-circle of radius ‘4r/5’ is drawn, then area of the remaining part of larger semi-circle will be ‘3πr2/5’. C: In a circle of radius ‘r’, if ‘O’ is the center of circle and radii OA and OB are at the angle of 45°, then the length of major arc AB will be ‘7πr/8’.
Mayank is doing an experiment in the lab with a bob of mass 10 Kg and a string of 6 m. He tied a string with the laboratory roof and another end with the bob. He then tied another string at 3 m below the roof with the previous one as shown in the figure. Find the tension T1 in the string? g =10 m/s2
What is the distance covered by boat N upstream in 5 hours? Which of the following option is sufficient alone to find the answer?

E) Speed of stream is 10 km/hr and ratio of upstream speed of boat M and boat N is 3 : 2 respectively.
A hollow rod has frictionless inner walls. Inside the rod are two small spheres that are kept on either side of the centre of rod. The rod is rotated about its central axis which is perpendicular to the plane of rotation. If the rod had been rotated by an impulsive torque which gave it an instantaneous angular velocity of 5rad/s, what will be the angular velocity after some finite but long time ‘t’? Assume no external forces act on rod after the impulse. Also state what will happen to the spheres in the centre of the rod. The rod has a mass =2kg & length =10cm. The two spheres have a mass =1kg each.
Ariba and Ayaan decided to use nails and a thread to make a circle on the ground. Ariba took a thin rope of length 5 meters and tied nails on both ends of the rope. Ariba fixed one end of the rope in the ground and kept holding it. She gave other end of rope to Ayaan and asked him to draw a circle. Similarly Ayaan took a thin rope of length 3 meters and made a circle in a same manner. What will be the ratio of areas of these two circles?
