Aball attached to a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle having a radius r. if the radius of the circle is changed to 4r and the same centripetal force is applied by the string, the new speed of the ball is which of the following? a. one-quarter the original speed
b. twice the original speed
c. one-half the original speed
d. four times the original speed

Option D: Four times the original speed.

Explanation:

A centripetal force accelerates a body by changing the direction of the body's  velocity without changing the body's speed.

The speed(v) is therefore constant, thereby making the magnitudes of the of the acceleration and the force constant.

The formula used to calculate the Centripetal force is given below:

where F represents the Centripetal force, m represents the mass of the moving body, v represents the speed or velocity at which the body is moving and r represents the radius.

Making the speed the subject of the formula:

Therefore, when the radius (r) is changed to 4r, i.e r = 4r

speed(v) becomes

After comparing, the difference between the speeds is Four times the original speed.

the answer is false

explanation:

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
