    Answer:

    The centripetal force remains constant.

    Explanation:

    The magnitude of centripetal force is given by the following formula:

    F = mv²/r

    where,

    F = Centripetal Force

    m = mass of the object

    v = velocity of the object

    r = radius of the circle

    Now, if we quadruple the radius (r = 4r) and the speed is doubled (v = 2v). Then the centripetal force becomes:

    F’ = m(2 v)²/4r

    F’ = (4/4)(mv²/r)

    F’ = mv²/r

    F’ = F

    Thus, the centripetal force remain constant.
