What will happen to the centripetal acceleration if the velocity of the object increases to two times its original value?

the centripetal acceleration will now be four times its initial value

Explanation:

v=velocity

a=centripetal acceleration

r=radius to the center

take note tat a centripetal force is the force tat is needed to keep a body moving along a circular path

centripetal force is given by f=mv^2/r

a=v^2/r

v=v

wen v is doubled , we ave

2v

substituting into the previous equation of centripetal force

a=(/r

a=4^{2}/(r)

from the equation, is can be discovered that the centripetal acceleration will now be four times its initial value

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.
