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.

Answer:

a. 1100 meters.

b. Between B and C

c.1. Between point D and E

c2. Between point D and E

d. 3.7 m/s.

Explanation:

The girl travels the distance of 1100 meters from starting to the end. There is no motion occurs between B and C due to no change of distance value from 200 meters. Between point D and E, the girls covers 500 meters long distance and also covers fastest distance between point D and E because between point D and E, the girl covers 500 meters distance in 30 seconds which is the highest of all. The average speed of the girls is 3.7 meter/seconds if we divide total distance i.e. 1100 meters by time which is 300 seconds.
