Suppose that the centripetal force acting on an object in circular motion were doubled to a new value, and the object remained in a circular path with the same radius. how would the motion be affected?

Explanation:

Centripetal force is mass times centripetal acceleration:

F = m v² / r

If force is doubled while mass and radius are held constant, then velocity will increase.

2F = m u² / r

2 m v² / r = m u² / r

2 v² = u²

u = v√2

So the velocity increases by a factor of √2.

explanation:

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
