Non-Uniform Circular Motion

In non uniform circular motion, the ratio of radial acceleration to tangential acceleration is (V is the velocity, r is the radius and α\alpha is the angular acceleration)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. ar=V2ra_r = \frac{V^2}{r}, at=rαa_t = r\alpha.
  2. arat=V2/rrα=V2r2α\frac{a_r}{a_t} = \frac{V^2/r}{r\alpha} = \frac{V^2}{r^2\alpha}
  3. So the answer is (b).
