KCET2025PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A particle is in uniform circular motion. The equation of its trajectory is given by (x-2)^2+y^2=25 , where x and y are in meter. The speed of the particle is 2 ~ms ⁻¹ , when the particle attains the lowest ' y ' co-ordinate, the acceleration of the particle is (in ms ⁻² )
Options
- A0.4 j
- B0.8 i
- C0.8 j
- D0.4 i
Correct answer
C. 0.8 j
Step-by-step solution
(x-2)^2+y^2=25 Equation of circle center (2,0) aligned & r^2=25 & r=5 & a_c= v^2 R = 2^2 5 & =0.8 ~m / s ^2 & a _ c =0.8 i ~m / s ^2 aligned
