Question

A concept question:

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

Answer 1

It has to have a higher velocity if it stays in the same path.

force=mv^2/r

Answer 2

when the radius remains same, the speed should be increased.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

5. If the centripetal force acting on an object in uniform motion suddenly went to zero, what would happen to the
object? What would be its subsequent motion?
