This item is an applet-based concept question for introductory physics on the topic of circular motion and Newton's First Law. A ball on a string in swung on a circular path. What happens to the ball's path when the string breaks? The user chooses from five animations that represent possible results. In-Class questions are intended to probe student understanding and elicit misconceptions. This particular problem is an appropriate warm-up for discussion of uniform circular motion.
This page is part of a larger collection of applets and related curriculum materials developed specifically for teaching with Physlets.
