Physics Question on work, energy and power
A particle of mass 10g moves along a circle of radius 6.4cm with a constant tangential acceleration. What is the magnitude of this acceleration if the kinetic energy of the particle becomes equal to 8×10−4J by the end of the second revolution after the beginning of the motion ?
A
0.15m/s2
B
0.18m/s2
C
0.2m/s2
D
0.1m/s2
Answer
0.1m/s2
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is(D): 0.1 m/s2
21mv2=8×10−4
or, 21×10×10−3v2=8×10−4
or, v2=16×10−2⇒v=0.4m/s
initial velocity of particle, u=0m/s
we have to find Tangential acceleration at the end of 2 nd revolution.
total distance covered, s=2(2πr)=4πr
so, v2=2as
a=2sv2=2(4πr)(0.4)2
=(8×3.14×6.4×10−2)16×10−2
=0.0995m/s2≈0.1m/s2
