Question:

A particle moves in a circle of radius 20 cm. Its linear speed is given by v = 2t . where t is in s and v in m/s. Then

Updated On: Mar 26, 2024
  • the radial acceleration at $ t = 2s is 80ms^{-2}$
  • tangential acceleration at $t = 2s is 2 ms^{-1}$
  • net acceleration at t = 2 s is greater than 80 $ms^{-1}$
  • tangential acceleration remains constant in magnitude

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

v = 2t, $a_c = \frac{\nu^2}{r} = \frac{(2t)^2}{0.2}$ = 20t$^2$ = 20 $\times 2^2$ = 80 m/s$^2$ $a_t = \frac{dv}{dt} $ = 2 m/s$^2$ Net acceleration : a = $\sqrt{a^2_c + a_t^2} $ > 80 m/s$^2$

Concepts Used:

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
