  1. A22
  2. B55
  3. C11
  4. D77

Correct answer

A. 22

Step-by-step solution

A particle is moving with constant speed in a circular path. When the particle turns by an angle 90 ° , the ratio of

In circular motion with constant speed, magnitude of instantaneous velocity, vins=\omegar{v}_{ins} = \omegar.

Time taken to turn by 90°90 ° will be =π2ω=π2ω= \dfrac{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}{\omega} = \dfrac{\pi}{2\omega}.

Displacement will be equal to the length of AB=r2+r2=r2AB = \sqrt{{r}^{2} + {r}^{2}} = r\sqrt{2}

Average velocity

vavg=displacementtime=r2×2ωπ=22π\omegar{v}_{avg} = \dfrac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}} = \dfrac{r\sqrt{2} \times 2\omega}{\pi} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{\pi}\omegar

Hence, required ratio vinsvavg=\omegarπ22\omegar=π22\dfrac{{v}_{\text{ins}}}{{v}_{\text{avg}}} = \dfrac{\omegar\pi}{2\sqrt{2}\omegar} = \dfrac{\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}

Therefore, x=2x = 2.
