State 2 factors that affect the centripetal force for a object having a circular path.
Answer: Can be any 2 of mass, velocity or radius of path.
The formula for the centripetal force (resultant) acting F=m(v^2)/r. Therefore the variables are mass, velocity for the object and the radius of the circular path the object is on.
