A
Mass of the object.
B
Radius of the circular path.
C
Velocity of the object.
D
Direction of the object's motion.
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation: The magnitude of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, the radius of the circular path, and the velocity of the object. The direction of the object's motion does not directly affect the magnitude of the centripetal force, as long as the object is moving in a circular path.
