An object traveling a circular path of radius 5 m at constant speed experiences an acceleration of 3 m/s2. If the radius of its path is increased to 10 m, but its speed remains the same, what is its acceleration?

    Acceleration = (velocity^2) / Radius. If the radius doubles, then as a result the acceleration halves.

    3^2 m/s^2 = velocity^2 m/s / 5 m - > 45 m^2/s^2 = velocity^2 m/s - > velocity = 6.71 m/s

    Acceleration = (6.71) ^2 m/s / 10m = 4.5m/s^2
