Manipal MET2012PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A particle is moving along a circular path of radius 5 m with a uniform speed 5 ~ms ⁻¹ . What will be the average acceleration when the particle completes half revolution?
Options
- AZero
- B10 ~ms ⁻²
- C10 ~ms ⁻²
- D10 ~ms ⁻²
Correct answer
D. 10 ~ms ⁻²
Step-by-step solution
When the particle completes half revolution, change in velocity v=[5-(-5)] m / s =10 ~m / s Time taken to complete the half revolution is t= r v = 5 5 = s Thus, average acceleration = v t = 10 ~m / s ^2
