The centripetal force is the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon.
Also, the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun is the centripetal force that causes the Earth to stay in orbit around the Sun.
Also, the gravitational force of attraction between a TV satellite, a weather satellite, or a GPS satellite and the Earth is the centripetal force that causes each satellite to stay in orbit around the Earth.
Can you provide the multiple choices ?
Answer:
Straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity the ball had at the moment the string broke
Explanation:
After the string breaks, the ball now disconnected from the centripetal force that was exerted via the string, continues its travel in a straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity it had at the moment the string broke.
