Question

How is centripetal force affected if an object increases its speed?

A. Decreases
B. Increases
C. Cut in half
D. No effect

Answer 1

,In order to increase the speed of an object on a circular path, YOU have to increase the centripetal force acting on it.

Answer 2

B. Increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

`{ \bf{F = \frac{m {v}^(2) }{r} }} \\ { \bf{F \: \alpha \: {v}^(2) }}`

Keeping mass, and radius constant, speed or velocity is directly proportioanal to centripetal force.
