Question: What happens to the centripetal acceleration of a revolving body if you double the orbital speed v and half the angular velocity ω

Options:

A) The centripetal acceleration remains unchanged

B) The centripetal acceleration is halved

C) The centripetal acceleration is doubled

D) The centripetal acceleration is quadrupled

Show Answer
