(assume that gravity applies for a vertical circular path)What path will an object released from a vertical or horizontal circular path take?
Since the centripetal force and acceleration are now gone the object will now have the horizontal component of its velocity as a constant and its vertical component will change by 9.8 m/s/s downward.
If it has zero horizontal v then the path is a vertical line.
More likely it does have some horiz. v so the path is a parabola
