The distance of a particle moving on a circle


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 300 People


the distance of a particle moving on a circle of radius 12 m measured from a fixed point on the circle and measured along the circle is given by s = 2t3 (in metres). find the ratio of its tangential to centripetal acceleration at t = 2s.

Answered by admin @



Given,

S = 2t³

Differentiating both the sides with respect to the time.

dS/dt = d(2t³)/dt

⇒ Velocity = 2 × 3 × t²

⇒ Velocity = 6t².


Centripetal Acceleration = V²/R = (6t²)²/12 = 36t⁴/12 = 3t⁴  = 48 m/s².

Now, Tangential Acceleration = d|v|/dt = d|6t²|/dt = 2 × 6 × t = 12t  = 12 × 2 = 24 m/s².


∴ Ratio of Tangential and Centripetal acceleration = 12t/3t⁴

= 24/48

= 1/2

= 1 : 2


Hope it helps.
