Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
Answer:
<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>
<em>Correct choice: B.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Circular Motion</u>
The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:
If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then
The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4
Correct choice: B.
