A particle is moving along a circular path of radius \(6 \mathrm{~m}\) with a uniform speed of \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). The average acceleration when the particle completes one half of the revolution is (A) \(\frac{16}{3 \pi} \mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) (B) \(\frac{32}{3 \pi} \mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) (C) \(\frac{64}{3 \pi} \mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) (D) None of these

Short Answer

Expert verified
The average acceleration when the particle completes one half of the revolution is \( \frac{64}{3 \pi} \) m/s².

Step by step solution

01

Find the time taken to complete half of the revolution

First, let's find the time taken by the particle to complete half of the revolution. To do this, we need to find the length of the path (half of the circumference of the circle) and then divide it by the given speed. Length of half of the circumference = \( \frac{1}{2} * 2 * \pi * r = \pi * r \) Where r = 6 m Now, divide the length by the speed to get the time taken: Time taken = \( \frac{\pi * 6}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 \pi}{4} \) s
02

Calculate the change in velocity

Once the particle completes half of the revolution, its final position will be diametrically opposite to the initial position. Thus, its final velocity vector will be opposite in direction to its initial velocity vector, but with the same magnitude. Since both the initial and final velocities have the same magnitude, the change in velocity will be equal to twice the magnitude of the velocity: Change in velocity = 2 * 8 = 16 m/s
03

Calculate the average acceleration

Now, we will use the formula for average acceleration: Average acceleration = \( \frac{Change \thinspace in \thinspace velocity}{Time \thinspace taken} \) Substitute the values obtained in steps 1 and 2: Average acceleration = \( \frac{16}{\frac{3 \pi}{4}} = \frac{64}{3 \pi} \) m/s² Thus, the average acceleration when the particle completes one half of the revolution is: \( \frac{64}{3 \pi} \) m/s², which matches option (C).

A particle can be projected with a given speed in two possible ways so as to make it pass through a point at a distance \(r\) from the point of projection. The product of the times taken to reach this point in the two possible ways is then proportional to (A) \(r\) (B) \(\frac{1}{r}\) (C) \(\frac{1}{r^{2}}\) (D) \(\frac{1}{r^{3}}\)

A particle is projected from ground with velocity \(40 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) at \(45^{\circ}\). At time \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\) : (A) Displacement of particle is \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) (B) Vertical component of velocity is \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (2) with (C) Velocity makes an angle of \(\tan ^{-1}\) horizontal (D) Particle is at height of \(80 \mathrm{~m}\) from ground

The maximum height attained by a projectile is increased by \(5 \%\), keeping the angle of projection constant. The corresponding percentage increase in horizontal range will be (A) \(5 \%\) (B) \(10 \%\) (C) \(15 \%\) (D) \(20 \%\)

Two seconds after projection, a projectile is traveling in a direction inclined at \(30^{\circ}\) to the horizontal and after one more second, it is traveling horizontally. The initial angle of projection with the horizontal is (A) \(30^{\circ}\) (B) \(45^{\circ}\) (C) \(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}\) (D) \(60^{\circ}\)

A man wants to reach point \(C\) on the opposite bank of river. He can swim in still water with speed \(5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and can walk on ground with \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Velocity of river is \(3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and given \(A B=B C=500 \mathrm{~m} .\) $$ \begin{aligned} &\text { Column-I } & \text { Column-II } \\ &\hline \text { (A) The time to reach point } C \text { if } & \text { (1) } 125 \mathrm{~s} \\ &\text { he crosses the river by shortest } \\ &\text { path is } \\ &\text { (B) The time to reach point } C \text { if } & \text { (2) } 175 \mathrm{~s} \\ &\text { he crosses the river in shortest } \\ &\text { time. } \\ &\text { (C) The time to reach point } C \text { if } & \text { (3) } 120 \mathrm{~s} \\ &\text { he crosses the river along } & \text { (4) } 106 \mathrm{~s} \\ &\text { path } A C \text { (approximate value). } & \\ &\text { (D) Time to reach point } B \\ &\text { with zero drift } \end{aligned} $$
