Q87 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (16 Apr Online) · Physics
Two particles of the same mass are moving in circular orbits because of force, given by . The first particle is at a distance , and the second, at . The best estimate for the ratio of kinetic energies of the first and the second particle is closest to
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Centripetal force is given as .
Given in the problem,
Kinetic energy is stated as .
(From equation)
The ratio of kinetic energies of first and second particle is
.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
