=> e
B) Let R be the distance between the cylinder and the center of the turntable. Now assume that the cylinder is moved to a new location R/2 from the center of the turntable. Which of the following statements accurately describe the motion of the cylinder at the new location?
=> the speed of the cylinder has decreased
the magnitude of the acceleration of the cylinder has decreased
