Q125 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2018 (05 May Shift 1) · Physics

A particle moves in a circle with speed $v$ varying with time as $v(t)=2 t$. The total acceleration of the particle after it completes 2 rounds of cycle is

  • A
    $16 \pi$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $2 \sqrt{1+64 \pi^2}$
  • C
    $2 \sqrt{1+49 \pi^2}$
  • D
    $14 \pi$

Solution

Instantaneous velocity of particle in circular motion is $v=r \omega=a t$, (let $v=a t)$ Then, $\quad \omega=\frac{d \theta}{d t}=\frac{a t}{r}$ So, $\quad \int_0^{2 \pi n}=\int_0^t \frac{a t}{r} d t$, $n=$ number of rounds $=2$ (given) $\Rightarrow \quad 2 \pi n=\frac{a t^2}{2 r} \Rightarrow t^2=\frac{4 \pi n r}{a}$ Radial acceleration, $a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{a^2 t^2}{r}$ $$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & a_r & =\frac{a^2}{r} \times \frac{4 \pi n r}{a} \\ \Rightarrow & a_r & =4 \pi n a \end{aligned} $$ Tangential acceleration, $a_t=\frac{d v}{d t}=a$ $\therefore$ Total acceleration, $$ \begin{aligned} a & =\sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}=\sqrt{a^2+(4 \pi n a)^2} \\ & =a \sqrt{1+(4 \pi n)^2} \\ & \left.=2 \sqrt{1+64 \pi^2} \quad \text { [given } a=2, n=2\right] \end{aligned} $$

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