    A body moving along a circular path of radius R with velocity v, has centripetal acceleration a. If its velocity is made equal to 2v, then its centripetal acceleration is

    A)  4a                                         

    B)  2 a

    C) \[\frac{a}{4}\]                                   

    D) \[\frac{a}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{R}=ma\] Or           \[a=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{R}\] Or           \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}}\] Here, \[{{v}_{1}}=v,{{v}_{2}}=2v,{{a}_{1}}=a\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{a}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{(2v)}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\] or            \[{{a}_{2}}=4a\]
