A car goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v. Then it goes around the same curve at half of the original speed. What is the acceleration of the car as it goes around the curve for the second time, compared to the first time?

• twice as big

• four times as big

• half as big

• one-fourth as big

• twice as big

• one-half as big

• same value as the first
