It will continue in a straight line.

When a ball is whirled using a string, it is restricted to move only in circular motion because the net force acting on the ball is towards the center of the circle. Hence, the acceleration of the ball is towards the center. But the velocity of ball is tangential to this circular path all the time. When the whirling is stropped, the string becomes slack and tension in the string becomes zero. The ball no more performs circular motion and the ball moves tangentially to the circle in straight line. Therefore, before letting go, velocity was variable. After letting go, velocity becomes constant.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.
