A particle is performing U.C.M. along the circumference of a circle of diameter 50 cm with frequency 2 Hz. The acceleration of the particle in m/s2 is

  • A
    2π2
  • B
    8π2
  • C
    π2
  • Correct answer
    D
    4π2

Solution

Given, diameter of circle, d = 50 cm
=50×10-2m
And frequency, f = 2 Hz
The acceleration of particle in a uniform circular motion can be given as
a=ω2x
Where, ω = angular frequency = 2πf
X = distance from centre =d2
⇒a=4π2f2×d2 … (i)
Substituting given values in Eq. (i), we get
a=4π2×4×50×10-22=4π2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
