Answer:
The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
Explanation:
Given;
first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m
speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s
second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m
Centripetal acceleration is given as;
At constant speed, we will have;
a₂ = 0.5a₁
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
