To increase the centripetal acceleration to 2.00 m/s^2, you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

a=0.50 m/s^2

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

a'=2.00 m/s^2

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, 4 times the original acceleration

- We can decrease the radius to 1/4 of its original value:

r'=\frac{1}{4}r

So the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{v^2}{(r/4)}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, the acceleration has increased by a factor 4 again.

What happens to centripetal acceleration as the radius of curvature decreases and the speed is constant, and why
lutik1710 [3]
It increases, because the centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of the curvature.

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o
leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,  

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N
