Kinematics Question 789

Question: If the radius of curvature of the path of two particles of same masses are in the ratio 1 : 2, then in order to have constant centripetal force, their velocity, should be in the ratio of [Pb. PET 2000]

Options:

A) 1 : 4

B) 4 : 1

C) 2:1

D) 1:2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The centripetal force, F=mv2r

therefore r=mv2F

rv2 or vr

(If m and F are constant), therefore v1v2=r1r2=12
