Answer:

the answers the correct one is a 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is by

a = v² / R

angular and linear velocities are related

v = w R

let's substitute

a = w² R

for initial condition

a₀ = w₀² R

suppose the initial angular velocity is wo, suppose the angular velocity doubles

a = (2w₀)² R

a = 4 (w₀² R)

a = 4 a₀

when reviewing the answers the correct one is a
