As we discussed in concept

Force in non-uniform Circular Motion -

F_{c}=ma_{c}=frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Ft = mat

F_{net}=msqrt{a_{c}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}

m = mass

ac= centripetal acceleration

at = tangen tial acceleration

Fc = centripetal force

- wherein

overrightarrow{F_{c}}perpvec{v}

W is not equal to zero by tangential force.

W = 0 by centripetal force

 

 

 \frac{m_{1}v_{1}^{2}}{r}=\frac{mv_{2}^{2}}{(\frac{r}{2})}\:\:\:= V_{1}^{2}=4V_{2}^{2}

 

V_{1}=2V_{2}

i.e n=2
