Kinematics Question 802

Question: A stone ties to the end of a string 1m long it’s whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 22 revolution in 44 seconds, What is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone [CBSE PMT 2005]

Options:

A) π24ms2 and direction along the radius towards the centre

B) π2ms2 and direction along the radius away from the centre

C) π2ms2 and direction along the radius towards the centre

D) π2ms2 and direction along the tangent to the circle

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

a =v2r=ω2r

=4π2n2r=4π2(2244)2×1

=π2m/s2 and it’s direction is always along the radius and towards the centre.
