An object travels in a circular path at speed v and experiences a centripetal acceleration ac. What will be the object's new centripetal acceleration, if its speed is increased to 2.0v? 2.0 · ac 4.0 · ac 1.4 · ac 0.71 · ac

OpenStudy (matt101):

You can figure this out by looking at the equation for centripetal acceleration: \[a_c={v^2 \over r}\] If you double v, what happens to ac?
