Question

If a circling object is released, centrifugal force will make it travel away from the center of its original path.

Answer 1

The answer is True. The object is thrown away from the center of its original path due its inertia. Centrifugal force acts in the opposite direction as centripetal force. Centripetal force applies towards the center of the curvature in a spinning object. Centrifugal force is considered an apparent force while centripetal force is an actual force.
