Object 1 is undergoing uniform circular motion at a radius of 10 cm. Object 2 is undergoing uniform circular motion at a radius of 0.2 m. If the objects have the same mass and are traveling with the same speed, which object is experiencing the larger centripetal force and why

The first object is experiencing a larger centripetal force because its radius is smaller compared to the second object.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the first object, r₁ = 10 cm = 0.1 m

radius of the second object, r₂ = 0.2 m

let the mass of the two objects, = m

let the speed of the two objects = v

The centripetal force of the first object is given by;

The centripetal force of the second object is given by;

Therefore, the first object is experiencing a larger centripetal force because its radius is smaller compared to the second object.
