In non-uniform circular motion,the ratio of tangential to radial acceleration is ($r=$ radius of the circle,$u=$ speed of the particle,$\alpha=$ angular acceleration).

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

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular path of constant radius $r$ such that its tangential acceleration varies with time as $a_t = K^2rt^2$ ($K$ is a constant). Select the correct statement.

$A$ particle is moving in a circular path of radius $r$ under the action of a force $F$. If at an instant the velocity of the particle is $\vec{v}$,and the speed of the particle is increasing,then:

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $30 \,ms^{-1}$ on a circular path of radius $500 \,m$. If its speed is increasing at the rate of $2 \,ms^{-2}$, then find its acceleration. (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ stone tied to the end of a string $80\; cm$ long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes $14$ revolutions in $25\; s$,what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone?
