An object is in uniform circular motion and is moving at a speed of 2.3 m/s. How does the speed of the object change if the centripetal force and

the radius stay the same, but the mass quadruples?
(A) Its speed is cut in half, because centripetal force is based on the square root of velocity.
(B) Its speed is cut in half, because centripetal force is based on velocity squared.
(C) Its speed is doubled, because centripetal force is based on the square root of velocity.
(D) Its speed is doubled, because centripetal force is based on velocity squared.
