Question 2

A girl whirls a ball on the end of a string above her head. Assume the motion of her hand to keep the ball in motion is negligible. For the ball to remain in a circular path while it rotates with a constant speed:
 a. only the centripetal force shown in the figure is required.
  b. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a force tangent to the motion of the ball.
  c. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a centrifugal force that pulls the ball outward.
  d. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a force radially inward from the string to cause circular motion.
  e. the centripetal force inward and the centrifugal force outward must balance each other.
