Best Answer

f = m * ( v^2 / r )

.

if the mass (m) and circular velocity (v) remain constant, increasing the radius (r) will decrease the force (f), and vice versa.

.

example:

10 kg mass, 10 m/s circular velocity, radius 1 m

force = 1 000 n

.

double the (1 m) radius to 2 metres

force = 500 n (halved)

.

halve the (1 m) radius to 0.5 metres

force = 2 000 n (doubled)

Think it out for yourself. If you increase the period (time per cycle) does that mean you have increased or decreased the speed? Once you've figured that out it's obvious.

What factors affect the increase of the centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion?

The centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion increases with an increase in the mass of the particle or the speed at which it is moving. It also increases if the radius of the circle decreases, as the force required to keep the particle in the circular path becomes greater when the circle is smaller.


Why does dielectric constant decrease with an increase in temperature?

If the temperature increases, the conductivity will increase too which means the dielectric constant is reduced


What are the effects of temperature and volume of gas samples at constant pressure?

If the volume is constant, the density does not change with temperature. With increasing temperature there is still the same number of molecules confined to the same volume of space, so no difference in density.


In an arithmetic sequence the constant rate of increase or decreas between successive terms is called the?

An arithmetic sequence does not have a constant rate of increase or decrease between successive terms, so it cannot be called anything!The constant increase or decrease is called the common difference.


Does the weight of an apple increase decrease or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?

the weight will decrease


Can you produce a lower pressure by decreasing the area a force acts on?

No, in fact you would be increasing the pressure. What you would have to do is increase the area while keeping the force constant which then would decrease the pressure.


What is the opposite of increased?

The opposite of increase is decrease or reduce.


If power is constant increasing the voltage will increase or decrease current?

Decrease, because W = I (current) x V (voltage), if one increases, the other decreases in proportion to the increase of the other. Ohm's Law states current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.


What will always increase voltage?

increasing resistance and keeping current constant


What is the result of increasing the temperatue of a gas?

At constant volume the pressure increase.


What Is a constant speed?

When the speed of an object remains the same - it does not increase or decrease - we say it is moving at a constant speed.
