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)

  1. ac=v2r=k2rt2⇒v=krta_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = k^2 r t^2 \Rightarrow v = krt
  2. Tangential acceleration: at=dvdt=kra_t = \frac{dv}{dt} = kr
  3. Only the tangential force does work: P=matv=m(kr)(krt)=mk2r2tP = m a_t v = m(kr)(krt) = mk^2r^2t
  4. So the answer is (c).
