A ten paisa coin placed on the revolving table flies off tangentially. This is due to the inertia of motion ?

Answer»

is is due to INERTIA of DIRECTION.When a the coin is PLACED on the revolving table , the coin stays on the table because of the force of friction between the coin and the table. This frictional force balances the centrifugal force of the table .When the centrifugal force becomes greater than the frictional force , the coin flies off tangentially due to inertia of direction as the coin has the tendency to regain its natural straight LINE path.
