Question

1. A mass m rotates at constant speed v at a radius of R from the rotational axi force F provides the centripetal force Fe. If you were to double the mass m changing R or v, the force needed to keep the mass in circular motion would s. A (a) stay the same. (b) double. (c) halve. (d) quadruple. 2. A mass m rotates at constant speed v at a radius of R from the rotational axis. A force F provides the centripetal force Fc. If you were to double the radius R of the motion, without changing m or v, the force needed to keep the mass in circular motion would (a) stay the same. (b) double. (c) halve. (d) quadruple. 3. A mass m rotates at constant speed v at a radius of R from the rotational axis. A force F provides the centripetal force Fe. If you were to double the speed v of the mass, without changing m or R, the force needed to keep the mass in circular motion would (a) stay the same. (b) double. (c) halve. (d) quadruple.

Explanation / Answer

1) option b is correct.

F = mv^2 /r

2)option c is correct

as r is doubled, F will be halved

3)option d is correct.

F is proportional to v^2
