  • A
    $\frac{r \alpha}{V}$
  • B
    $\frac{V^{2}}{r \alpha}$
  • C
    $\frac{r^{2} \alpha}{V^{2}}$
  • D

$A$ car is travelling at $30 \,ms^{-1}$ speed on a circular road of radius $300 \,m$. If its speed is increasing at the rate of $4 \,ms^{-2}$, then its acceleration is (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

The tangential acceleration of a particle moving in a circle of radius $1 \ m$ varies with time $t$ as shown in the graph (initial velocity of the particle is zero). The time after which the total acceleration of the particle makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the radial acceleration is:

Consider a wheel rotating around a fixed axis. If the rotation angle $\theta$ varies with time as $\theta=a t^2$, then the total acceleration of a point $A$ on the rim of the wheel is ($v$ being the tangential velocity).

$A$ point $P$ moves in a counter-clockwise direction on a circular path as shown in the figure. The movement of $P$ is such that it sweeps out a length $s = t^3 + 5$,where $s$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. The radius of the path is $20 \ m$. The acceleration of $P$ when $t = 2 \ s$ is nearly .......... $m/s^2$.
