  1. Question 1

    Q1. What is the effect of increasing the radius of a circular path on the centripetal force required, assuming constant speed?

    • A) It increases
    • B) It decreases
    • C) It remains the same
    • D) It becomes zero

    Answer: It decreases

    Explanation: Centripetal force = m * v² / r. As r increases, force decreases, being inversely proportional to r.
