Question

write two or more questions that you still have about centripetal force or newtons second law. be sure your questions can be either researched or tested through investigations. avoid asking questions with yes and no answers. what statements, quotations, or data from the readings led you to ask each of your questions?

Explanation:

1. Question 1: How does the centripetal - force required for an object moving in a vertical circular path vary at different points of the circle? This question is inspired by the general concept of centripetal force and the idea that in a vertical circle, gravitational force also plays a role.
2. Question 2: How does the mass of an object affect the acceleration according to Newton's second law when the force applied is a non - constant centripetal force? This question combines the idea of Newton's second law ($F = ma$) with the concept of centripetal force which can change depending on the motion of the object.

Answer:

1. How does the centripetal - force required for an object moving in a vertical circular path vary at different points of the circle?
2. How does the mass of an object affect the acceleration according to Newton's second law when the force applied is a non - constant centripetal force?
