6.2Uniform Circular Motion

28.

Which of these quantities is constant in uniform circular motion?

1. Speed
2. Velocity
3. Acceleration
4. Displacement
29.

Which of these quantities impact centripetal force?

1. Mass and speed only
4. Mass, speed, and radius all impact centripetal force
30.

An increase in the magnitude of which of these quantities causes a reduction in centripetal force?

1. Mass
3. Speed
31.
What happens to centripetal acceleration as the radius of curvature decreases and the speed is constant, and why?
1. It increases, because the centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of the curvature.
2. It increases, because the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of curvature.
3. It decreases, because the centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of the curvature.
4. It decreases, because the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of the curvature.
32.
Why do we experience more sideways acceleration while driving around sharper curves?
1. Centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature, so it increases as the radius of curvature decreases.
2. Centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of curvature, so it decreases as the radius of curvature decreases.
3. Centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of curvature, so it decreases as the radius of curvature increases.
4. Centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of curvature, so it increases as the radius of curvature increases.
