Centripetal Force: The Force Keeping an Object on a Circular Path

The video tutorial explains the concept of centripetal force in circular motion. It describes how this force acts at a right angle to the direction of movement and is provided by a string in a curved path scenario. When the inward force is removed, the object stops moving in a circle and continues in a straight line.

Describe the role of the string in providing centripetal force.

What path does the hammer take when it is released from the circular motion?
