Without inertia, how would an object that is experiencing a centripetal force behave?

it would move in a line away from the circle’s center.
it would move in a line toward the circle’s center.
it would move in a curved, circular path.
it would move in a line tangent to the circular path.

Correct answer choice is :

B) It would move in a line toward the circle’s center.

Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance of any solid object to any diversity in its position and phase of motion. This involves alterations to the object's speed, direction, or state of rest. An inertial force is a force that opposes a change in velocity of an object. It is equal to and in the opposing direction of an implemented force, as well as a resistive force. The theory is based on Newton's Laws of Motion, including the Law of Inertia and the Action-Reaction Law.
