B. Kinetic energy plus its potential energy.
1 - Radius of the path is increased
The formula for centripetal force is Fc=mv^2/r, therefore if r increases, a the divisor is larger and hence the centripetal force will be smaller.
Objects accelerate at ~9.8 Meters per second per second (9.8 Meters peer sec^2. (or ~32 feet per sec^2 for you non metric guys) As they gain speed they will reach a maximum velocity limited by atmospheric resistance, when the resistance vector equals the gravity vector and all acceleration will cease. In a vacuum the object will continue to accelerate.
Newton’s second law states that force is the product of
mass and acceleration. This is expressed mathematically as:
F = m * a
Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration
Since in the given problem, the force is constant or same
force is acting upon two objects. Therefore we can simply equate the expression
m * a of the 2 objects.
m1 * a1 = m2 * a2
Where m1 = 2 kg, a1 = 38 m/s^2, m2 = 19 kg. Therefore
finding for a2:
2 kg * 38 m/s^2 = 19 kg * a2
