Q96 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Physics

A particle of mass 10 g moves along a circle of radius 6.4 cm with a constant tangential acceleration. What is the magnitude of this acceleration if the kinetic energy of the particle becomes equal to 8×10-4 J by the end of the second revolution after the beginning of the motion?

  • A
    0.18 m s-2
  • B
    0.2 m s-2
  • Correct answer
    C
    0.1 m s-2
  • D
    0.15 m s-2

Solution

Tangential acceleration at=rα= constant =K

α=Kr

At the end of second revoluation angular velocity is ω then

ω2-ω02=2αθ

ω 2 =2( K r )( 4π )

ω2=8πKr

K.E. of the particle is =K.E.=12mv2

K.E.=12mr2ω2

K.E.=12m(r2)(8πKr)=12mr(8πK)

8× 10 −4 = 1 2 ×10× 10 −3 ×6.4× 10 −2 ×8×3.14×K

K=26.4×3.14=0.1 m s-2

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