The centripetal acceleration is equal to velocity squared over radius. a=v^2/r

curvature of its path are determined by the centripetal acceleration.

What is the relationship between radius and velocity in circular motion?
None of them depend directly on the other. However, centripetal acceleration can be calculated as a = v2/r.
A brick has a greater mass than a sponge has why is the acceleration due to the gravity the same for both objects?
The acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass. For example, if you have two objects, one of which has 10 times the mass of another, it will be attracted with 10 times the force; however, it will also have 10 times the inertia, so the acceleration will be the same.
What two variables does force depend on?
Mass and Acceleration. Force = Mass x Acceleration
What 2 thing does force depend on?
mass and acceleration.
What two factors depend on in acceleration?
velocity and distance.
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 a lump of mud and a brick are acted on by the force of same magnitude and same direction will they exhibit the same effect and why?
According to Newton's Second Law, the "effect" (the acceleration) would depend on the objects' masses. For more mass, there would be less acceleration.

Mass and Acceleration. Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is the acceleration of the mass ofa 100 N force pushing on a 10 kg mass sitting on a horizontal surface?
The acceleration due to gravity on earth doesn't depend on the mass of the falling object. All falling objects on the same planet fall with the same acceleration. On earth, the acceleration is 9.8 meters/sec2 .
What does freefall acceleration depend on?
Acceleration is change in velocity. So it depends on both velocity and time.
What 2 thing does force depend on?
mass and acceleration.
What two factors depend on in acceleration?
velocity and distance.
What are the names of a labeled circle?
The answer will depend on what elements of the circle are labelled.
