  1. Question 1

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

    • A) It remains the same
    • B) It is doubled
    • C) It is quadrupled
    • D) It is halved

    Answer: It is quadrupled

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration is proportional to ω², so when ω is doubled, a is quadrupled.
