Non-Uniform Circular Motion
A particle of mass m is moving in a circular path of constant radius r such that its centripetal acceleration (a) is varying with time t as a = k2rt2, where k is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it is given as
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Tangential acceleration:
- Only the tangential force does work:
- So the answer is (c).
