An object moves at a constant speed along a circular path in a horizontal plane with centre at the origin. When the object is at x = + 2 m , its velocity is - 4 j ^ m s - 1 . The object’s velocity ( v ) and acceleration ( a ) at x = – 2 m will be
Options
- Av = 4 i ^   m   s - 1 ,   a = 8 j ^   m   s - 2
- Bv = 4 j ^   m   s - 1 ,   a = 8 i ^   m   s - 2
- Cv = - 4 j ^   m   s - 1 ,   a = 8 i ^   m   s - 2
- Dv = - 4 i ^   m   s - 1 ,   a = - 8 j ^   m   s - 2
Correct answer
B. v = 4 j ^   m   s - 1 ,   a = 8 i ^   m   s - 2
Step-by-step solution
As the speed is constant, only centripetal acceleration will act(towards the centre of the circular path), a c = v 2 r = 4 2 2 = 8   m   s - 2 towards the centre which at the given time will be towards right, hence a → c = 8 i ^   m   s - 2 . Velocity of the particle at this instant will in upward direction and hence v → = 4 j ^   m   s - 1 .
