Motion In A Plane Ques 49

49. A particle moves along a circle of radius $(\frac{20}{\pi}) m$ with constant tangential acceleration. If the velocity of the particle is $80 $ $m / s$ at the end of the second revolution after motion has begun, the tangential acceleration is

[2003]

(a) $40\ \pi\ \text{m}/\text{s}^2$

(b) $40\ \text{m}/s^{2}$

(c) $640\ \pi\ \text{m}/\text{s}^2$

(d) $160\ \pi\ \text{m}/\text{s}^2$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 49.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Given, $r=\frac{20}{\pi} m$

$v_j=80$ $ m / sec \Rightarrow w_f=\frac{8 \pi}{2} \Rightarrow 4 \pi$

$\theta=2\pi$ radian $N=4$

From the equation,

$w_f^{2}=w_0^{2}+2 \alpha \theta \quad[\because w_0=0]$

$(4 \pi)^{2}=0+2 \alpha \cdot 4 \pi$

$\alpha=2\pi$

tangential acceleration

$ \begin{alignedat} & a_t=\alpha \cdot r \\ & a t=2 \pi \cdot \frac{20}{\pi}=40 \text{ m/s}^2 \end{aligned} $
