  1. Question 1

    Q1. A particle is moving in a circular path. If its speed is doubled, what happens to its centripetal acceleration?

    • A) Remains same
    • B) Doubled
    • C) Quadrupled
    • D) Halved

    Answer: Quadrupled

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration is proportional to v², so doubling the speed quadruples the acceleration, a ∝ v².
