KVPY2014PhysicsRotational Motion
A body moves in a circular orbit of radius R under the action of a central force. Potential due to the central force is given by V(r)= kr (k is a positive constant). period of revolution of the body is proportional to :
Options
- AR^ 1 / 2
- BR^ -1 / 2
- CR^ -3 / 2
- DR ^ -5 / 2
Correct answer
A. R^ 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
V(r)=k rU(r)=m k r ²= k r aligned F=- d u d r =-m k = k r & T= 2 r k aligned
