The magnitude of the centripetal force acting on an object traveling in a horizontal circular path will decrease and if the

Answer 1

see attached ...............

Answer 2

Answer:

The radius of the path is increased

Explanation:

The centripetal force is represented by the equation:

$F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where $F$ is the centripetal force, $m$ is the mass of the object on the circular path, $v$ is its velocity and $r$ the radius of the circle

From the equation we can observe that the centripetal force and the radius of the circular path are inversely proportional: if the radius increases the force decreases, and if the radius decreases the force increases.

Thus, the complete sentence is:

The magnitude of the centripetal force acting on an object traveling in a horizontal circular path will decrease and if the radius of the path is increased
