Centripetal Acceleration & Force

A particle of mass ' mm ' is performing uniform circular motion along a circular path of radius ' rr '. Its angular momentum about the axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane is ' LL '. The kinetic energy of the particle is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Angular momentum L=mvr⇒v=LmrL = mvr \Rightarrow v = \frac{L}{mr}.
  2. KE=12mv2=12mL2m2r2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}m\frac{L^2}{m^2r^2}
  3. KE=L22mr2KE = \frac{L^2}{2mr^2}
  4. So the answer is (a).
