BITSAT2013PhysicsMotion in Two DimensionsActual
The velocity and acceleration vectors of a particle undergoing circular motion are v =2 i m / s and a =2 i +4 j m / s ² respectively at an instant of time. The radius of the circle is -
Options
- A1 ~m
- B2 ~m
- C3 ~m
- D4 ~m
Correct answer
A. 1 ~m
Step-by-step solution
It can be observed that component of acceleration perpendicular to velocity is a =4 ~m / s ² radius = v ² a _ c = (2)² 4 =1 metre
