A mass m rotates at constant speed v at a radius of R from the orational axis. A force F provides the centripital force Fc. If you double the speed v of the mass, without changing m or R, the force needed to keep the mass in circular motion would: (a) Stay the same (b) double (c) halve (d)quadruple
