$(a)$ Name the force that keeps the object moving in a circular path with constant acceleration.
$(b)$ What would happen if this force is absent?
$(b)$ What would happen if this force is absent?
(N/A) The force that keeps an object moving in a circular path with constant acceleration is known as the centripetal force.
$(b)$ If this force is absent,the object will no longer move in a circular path. Instead,it will move in a straight line along the direction of the tangent to the circular path at the point where the force ceased to act,in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.
