if you whirl a rock at the end of string and it follows a circular path, if the string breaks what will the rock do ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a simple world, the rock would continue in the direction it was travelling when it was released, that is, perpendicular to the axis formed by the string.|dw:1355197260667:dw| Without being attached to the string, there is no force applied, so the rock continues in the direction of its formerly tangential velocity.
