Question

in the centripetal force acting on the body in circular motion ceases then

Answer 1

Dear student,

The force that is required to keep an object moving in the curved path (circular path) and that is directed inwards towards the centre of the rotation, such a force is called as centripetal force. If the centripetal force acting on the body in circular motion ceases to exist then the body instead of going round the curved path would go along the tangential path i.e. straight path with the speed available at that instant.
