Question

(A) In non-uniform circular motion,the total acceleration $a$ is the vector sum of the radial acceleration $a_r$ and the tangential acceleration $a_t$

Vedclass · Accepted Answer

The radial acceleration and the tangential acceleration are $3\, ms^{-2}$ and $4\, ms^{-2}$ respectively.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In non-uniform circular motion,the total acceleration $a$ is the vector sum of the radial acceleration $a_r$ and the tangential acceleration $a_t$. Since these two components are perpendicular to each other,the magnitude of the resultant acceleration is given by $a = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}$.Given $a = 5\, ms^{-2}$.Checking option $A$: $a_r = 3\, ms^{-2}$ and $a_t = 4\, ms^{-2}$.$a = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5\, ms^{-2}$.This matches the given total acceleration. Thus,option $A$ is correct.

The acceleration of a body in a non-uniform circular motion is $5\, ms^{-2}$. Which one of the following is correct?

For a particle in a non-uniform accelerated circular motion:

The velocity and acceleration vectors of a particle undergoing circular motion are $\overrightarrow{v} = 2 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $\overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2$ respectively at an instant of time. The radius of the circle is $........ \text{ m}$.

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

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:
