Q 1 :    

A particle moving with uniform speed in a circular path maintains              [2024]

  • constant velocity

     

  • constant acceleration

     

  • constant velocity but varying acceleration

     

  • varying velocity and varying acceleration

     

(4)

In uniform circular motion velocity does not remain constant as direction of motion keeps changing. Hence, velocity varies continuously and thus, acceleration also changes.

 



Q 2 :    

Two particles A and B are moving in uniform circular motion in concentric circles of radii rA and rB with speed vA and vB respectively. Their time period of rotation is the same. The ratio of angular speed of A to that of B will be              [2019]
 

  • 1:1

     

  • rA:rB

     

  • vA:vB

     

  • rB:rA

     

(1)

Time period, T=2πω

As TA=TB. So, 2πωA=2πωB   or   ωA:ωB=1:1



Q 3 :    

A particle starting from rest, moves in a circle of radius 'r'. It attains a velocity of V0 m/s in the nth round. Its angular acceleration will be          [2019]
 

  • V0nrad/s2

     

  • V02πnr2rad/s2

     

  • V024πnr2rad/s2

     

  • V024πnrrad/s2

     

(3)

Distance travelled in nth rounds =(2πr)n

Using v2=u2+2as or, V02=0+2a(2πr)na=V024πnr

Angular acceleration, α=ar=V024πnr2rad/s2



Q 4 :    

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]

[IMAGE 13]
 

  • 4.5ms-1

     

  • 5.0ms-1

     

  • 5.7ms-1

     

  • 6.2ms-1

[IMAGE 14]----------------------------------

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
