Originally $a = 12 space m/s$, then $r$ is doubled. Find the new value for $a$. $a = v^2/r$. If I am right, $v$ is originally $6$ which then turns to $36$ so if you divide it by $3$ it gives you $12$. Later if you double $r$, it would be $6$ which the final answer would be $6$.

    This is not clear. If by $a$ you are referring to acceleration then your units are wrong. And what is $r$? Are you talking about acceleration around a circle? Are you keeping speed constant?

  • Please use MathJax to format your answer as your formula for $a$ is currently ambiguous. But if $a$ is inversely proportional to $r$ and then $r$ is doubled, then $a$ will halve to give $6$.

You're right.



Since $a=v^2/r$, $a$ is inversely proportional to $r$.



Doubling $r$ halves $a$, and $6text m/s^2$ is half of $12text m/s^2.$

    Assuming $v$ stays constant,
    $$ar = v^2 = k$$
    where $k$ is a constant. So $a$ and $r$ are inversely proportional. If $r$ is doubled, $a$ is halved, and the new acceleration is $$frac12(12fracms^2)=6 fracms^2$$

              Assuming $v$ stays constant,
              $$ar = v^2 = k$$
              where $k$ is a constant. So $a$ and $r$ are inversely proportional. If $r$ is doubled, $a$ is halved, and the new acceleration is $$frac12(12fracms^2)=6 fracms^2$$
