Centripetal Acceleration & Force

A particle is performing U.C.M. along the circumference of a circle of diameter 50 cm with frequency 2 Hz. The acceleration of the particle in m/s2\text{m/s}^2 is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Radius r=50/2=25 cm=0.25 mr = 50/2 = 25\text{ cm} = 0.25\text{ m}, n=2 Hzn = 2\text{ Hz}.
  2. a=4π2n2r=4π2(4)(0.25)a = 4\pi^2 n^2 r = 4\pi^2 (4)(0.25)
  3. a=4π2 m/s2a = 4\pi^2\text{ m/s}^2
  4. So the answer is (d) 4π24\pi^2.
