To find the change in centripetal force, we first need to calculate the initial centripetal force using the initial radius of curvature and velocity, and then calculate the final centripetal force using the final radius of curvature. The formula for centripetal force is F = (mv^2) / r, where F is the centripetal force, m is the mass, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of curvature.
Initial centripetal force: F_initial = (m * v^2) / r_initial
Final centripetal force: F_final = (m * v^2) / r_final
Change in centripetal force: ΔF = F_final - F_initial

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
