NEETPhysicsMotion in A PlaneMCQ+4 / −1
In the given figure, a = 15 m s2 represents the total acceleration of particle moving in the clockwise direction in a circle of radius R = 2.5 m at a given instant of time. The speed of the particle is


- A4.5 m s1
- B5.0 m s1
- C5.7 m s1
- D6.2 m s1

Correct answer: C

Here ${a_c} = a\cos {30^o}$ = 15 $ \times $ ${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$ m/s2
We know, $${a_c} = {{{v^2}} \over R}$$
$ \Rightarrow $ $v = \sqrt {{a_c}R} $ = $$\sqrt {15 \times {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} \times 2.5} $$ = 5.7 m/s
