Kinematics Question 484

Question: The kinetic energy k of a particle moving along a circle of radius R depends on the distance covered s as k=as2 where a it’s a constant. The force acting on the particle is [MNR 1992; JIPMER 2001, 02; AMU (Engg.) 1999]

Options:

A) 2as2R

B) 2as(1+s2R2)1/2

C) 2as

D) 2aR2s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

According to given problem 12mv2=as2

v=s2am

So aR=v2R=2as2mR -(i)

Further more as at=dvdt=dvdsdsdt=vdvds -(ii)

(By chain rule) Which in light of equation (i) i.e. v=s2am

yields at=[s2am][2am]=2asm -(iii)

So that a=aR2+at2=[2as2mR]2+[2asm]2

Hence a=2asm1+[s/R]2

F=ma=2as1+[s/R]2
