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?

4 answers

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

force=mv^2/r
when the radius remains same, the speed should be increased.
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?
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?
