Q.

In the given figure, a=15ms-2 represents the total acceleration of a particle moving in the clockwise direction in a circle of radius R=2.5m at a given instant of time. The speed of the particle is             [2016]


 

1 4.5ms-1  
2 5.0ms-1  
3 5.7ms-1  
4 6.2ms-1  

Ans.

(3)

Here, a=15ms-2, R=2.5m

From Figure, ac=acos30°=15×32ms-2

As we know, ac=v2R  v=acR

  v=15×32×2.5=5.695.7ms-1
