Answer:
Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4
Explanation:
A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"
It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,
R' = R/4
New centripetal acceleration will be,




So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.

Answer:
B. 
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because
,
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for
