When something accelerates along a circular path, __________ keeps it going in the circle.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Centripetal force.
When something accelerates along a circular path, centripetal force keeps it going in the circle. This force acts towards the center of the circle, continuously changing the direction of the object’s motion and maintaining its path along the circular trajectory. Without centripetal force, an object would move in a straight line due to inertia, rather than following a curved path.
