In the simplest case, supposing the orbit of the space station to be a perfect circle, the centripetal acceleration would be quadrupled (F=mω2r).

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.


A race car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track what has to happen to the static friction in order to stay on the track when the speed is doubled?

In that case, the centripetal acceleration - and therefore also the static friction - will increase by a factor of 4.


How much centripetal force is needed by a body moving in uniform circular motion if the mass is doubled?

If the mass is doubled then the force needed is also doubled,according to the equation F=MV2/R


What happens to acceleration when force is doubled?

F=ma, if "a" doubles and "m" is the same, the resultant "F" will double. Acceleration is doubled if force is doubled, a1=f/m; a2= 2f/m= 2a1.


What will happen to the acceleration of a 1 kg basketball if the force applied to it is doubled from 10 n to 20 n?

The acceleration will be doubled accordingly. From 10m/s2 to 20.


What happens to your weight if acceleration due to gravity somehow doubled?

IF gravity doubled, THEN your weight would double. And acceleration and the force of gravity are indistinguishable from each other.


When the velocity of the body is doubled its acceleration?

when the velocity is doubled then its accelration is also doubled.because a=v/t


What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?

If you doubled the force on a moving object you would double its acceleration.


How could you keep an object acceleration the same if the force acting on object were doubled?

force = mass * acceleration if force is doubled, mass needs to be doubled to keep the same acceleration example: force = 6 mass = 2 acceleration = 3 6 = 2 * 3 12 = m * 3 12/3 = m 4 = mass


If the mass of the skateboard doubled but the net force on it remained constant what would happen to the skateboard's acceleration?

The force equal mass times acceleration, if force remains the same, and mass is doubled, then acceleration must be cut in half.


A race car is travelling at constant speed around a circular track What happens to the centripetal acceleration of the car if the speed is doubled?

It increases by a factor of 4, because Fc = (mv2)/r. Fc = ma. so we conclude that the relationship between a and v is a squared relationship.


What would be the acceleration if the mass were halved?

the mass will be doubled (ie) if A=10 , then mass will be equal to 20.
