A particle is moving with a constant angular acceleration of \(4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) in a circular path. At \(t=0\), particle was at rest. Find the time at which the magnitudes of centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration are equal. \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (A) } 1 \mathrm{~s} & \text { (B) } 2 \mathrm{~s} & \text { (C) } \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~s} & \text { (D) } \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{~s}\end{array}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The magnitudes of centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration are equal at t = 1 s. The correct answer is \( \boxed{\text{(A) } 1 \mathrm{~s}} \).

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information and required formulas

We are given: - α = 4 rad/s² - a_t = αr - ω = αt (initial angular velocity is 0) - a_c = ω²r We want to find the time t when a_t = a_c.
02

Equate tangential and centripetal accelerations

Equate a_t and a_c and substitute the values: αr = ω²r Since α = 4 rad/s² and ω = αt, the equation becomes: 4r = (4t)²r
03

Solve for t

Solve the above equation for t: 4r = 16t²r Divide both sides by 4r: t² = 1 Take the square root of both sides: t = ±1 s Since time can only be positive, we discard the negative value: t = 1 s
04

Conclusion

The magnitudes of centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration are equal at t = 1 s. The correct answer is (A) 1 s.
