This is what it is called when you group multiple objects and treat them as a single object

What is a system

A centripetal force F is applied to an eraser moving at a constant speed v in a horizontal circle of radius r. If the force is doubled, but the radius is halved, what happens to the speed of the eraser?

What is remains quadruples
