In order to answer that, we would need to know the length of the arm
that attaches the gondola to the hub around which it rotates.

How does centripetal acceleration depend upon the object's speed and the radius of the circle?
The centripetal acceleration is equal to velocity squared over radius. a=v^2/r
How does speed affect centripetal force?
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration ((m/s)/s) but > acceleration in a circle = velocity 2 / radius So > (centripetal) force = mass * (velocity 2 / radius)
What is the acceleration towards the inside of a curved path?
"Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". Acceleration means any changein the speed or direction of motion. An object with no acceleration moves at aconstant speed in a straight line. If its path is not straight, then the directionof its motion changes, which fits the definition of acceleration.
How to find maximum centripetal acceleration?
That depends on the situation, on the problem you are trying to solve. If speed is constant, maximal centripetal acceleration occurs where the radius of curvature is smallest - for example, in the case of a parabola, at its vertex. If the radius of curvature is constant, maximum centripetal acceleration occurs when the speed is greatest (for an object reacting to gravity, that might be at the bottom of a circular path). In other cases, you have to get a general expression for the centripetal acceleration, and maximize it (using methods of calculus).
When a car rounds a corner going at constant speed is its acceleration is zero?
centripetal acceleration must be considered. dont forget gravity!
How does centripetal acceleration depend upon the object's speed and the radius of the circle?
The centripetal acceleration is equal to velocity squared over radius. a=v^2/r
How does centripetal force affect centripetal force?
Centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed (a = v2/r). Therefore, according to Newton's Second Law, centripetal force is also proportional to the square of the speed.

What is A 0.25 kg stone tied to a 0.5 m string whirls at a speed of 4 m s What is the centripetal acceleration acting on the stone?
Centripetal acceleration = V2/R = (4)2/(0.5) = 32 meters/sec2The centripetal acceleration doesn't depend on the stone's mass.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal acceleration doesn't "act on" the stone.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal force acting on the stone is F = M A = (0.25) (32) = 8 newtons.
When speed is double the centrifugal force also double?
When speed is doubled, the centrifugal (or centripetal) force increases by a factor of 4. One formula you can use (for centripetal acceleration) is: a = v2 / r. Force, of course, is proportional to acceleration.

What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
How does the centripetal force with the speed of rotation of the body with constant mass and radius of rotation?
You can calculate the centripetal ACCELERATION with one of these formulae: acceleration = velocity squared / radius acceleration = omega squared x radius Acceleration refers to the magnitude of the acceleration; the direction is towards the center. Omega is the angular speed, in radians per second. To get the centripetal FORCE, you can use Newton's Second Law. In other words, just multiply the acceleration by the mass.
What is centripetal acceleration equation?
Two equations are commonly used for the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration (the direction of the acceleration is towards the center): a = v squared / r a = omega squared x r where: * v is the linear speed * omega is the angular speed (in radians/second) * r is the radius
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion called?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
What is an example of Circular acceleration?
a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).
