The initial trajectory of a ball released from uniform circular motion

Batista, Milan (author)

This short paper presents a simple analytical model for the abrupt termination of circular motion, as discussed in the ‘The Most Mind-Blowing Aspect of Circular Motion’. The model confirms that when a string is released, a ball at the far end of the string continues to move in a near-circular motion for a short time.
