A particle moves in a circle of radius 5 cm with constant speed and time period 0.2 s. The acceleration of the particle is
- 15 m/s2
- 25 m/s2
- 36 m/s2
- 5 m/s2
Answer
(4) 5 m/s2
Solution
= 2 T = 2 0.2 = 10 rad s-1
r = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Centripetal acceleration: a = 2 r = (10)2 0.05
= 5 m/s2
Answer: (4)
