  1. Question 1

    Q1. An object is moving in a circular path. If its speed 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 = v² / r. When v is doubled, acceleration becomes 4 times, as it is proportional to v².
