A particle of mass m is moving in a circular path of constant radius r such that its centripetal acceleration (a) is varying with time t as a = k2rt2, where k is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it is given as
- Azero
- Bmk2r2t2
- Cmk2r2t
- Dmk2rt

Correct answer: C
- Given centripetal acceleration
For circular motion of radius , the centripetal acceleration is
The problem gives
So,
Taking the positive root for speed,
- Find tangential acceleration
Power delivered by the force is due to the component of force along velocity, i.e. the tangential force.
Tangential acceleration is
Thus tangential force is
- Compute power
Instantaneous power is
Substituting,
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ✅
- D: ❌
- Final answer
So, the correct option is C.
