Question

An object with mass 'm' is moving in a circle of radius 'R' at a constant speed of 'v.' The acceleration of the object will INCREASE if _____. List all that apply ... .

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by the formula

a = v²/r

The acceleration of the object is bound to increase, if and only if the following are changed as well.

The mass of the object is increased,

The speed of the object is increased,

The radius of the object is contrarily decreased

Taking another look at the formula, we see that if we increase the speed of the object, it increases the acceleration. And since the radius is in the denominator, it has to be reduced for the acceleration to increase
