When object is moving in circular path then if suddenly its force reduced to zero then it will move to straight line

This is defined by Newton's First Law

So as per first law of Newton we can say

When there is no net force on an object then it will continue its state of motion in its original state without any change in it.

This is also known as law of inertia

so correct answer will be

Newton's 1st law

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Centrifugal force

Explanation:

The reacting force that is equal to and opposite in the direction to the centripetal force and tends to fling air out of the center of rotation of High and Low pressure systems is called centrifugal force.

Centrifugal force is force that causes an object moving in a circular path to move out and away from the center of it's path, it always centripetal force and the force is imaginary, which can only be felt and not seen.

Sliva [168]

ball drops 45m under g=10m/s/s

45=1/2x10xt^2 ... application of kinematic equaion from rest
