Question

Which statement is true about an object moving in a circular motion due to centripetal force, F, when the mass is doubled? A. Its centripetal force would be doubled. B. Its centripetal force would be unaltered. C. Its centripetal force would be reduced by half. D. Its centripetal force would be reduced by a factor of 1/4.

Answer 1

Force = [Mass x (velocity)^2]/Radius
Therefore,
The mass and the force are directly proportional.If you double the mass,the force will be doubled too.

A. Its centripetal force would be doubled.
