In a non-uniform circular motion, what is the direction of acceleration ? Discuss.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In a non-uniform circualr motion, what is the direction of an oject, the object, the object has two types of acceleration:
(i) Tangential acceleration ` ( vec A_(T)). It acts tangentially to the circulat path at a given instant of the object.
(ii) Centro[eta, acce,eratopm (vec a_(T)). It acts along the radius directed towards the centre of the circular path. Here ` vec a_(T)` and vec a_(C)` are perpendiculart to each other at every loction on circular path. Fig. 2 (d) .33. The resultant ancceleration of object is `
vwec a =vec a_(T) + vec a_(C)`
wher `|vec a | = sqrt a_(T)^(2) + a_(C)^(2)`
.
If vec a` make an angle ` beta` with vec a_(C)` the
`tan beta =a_(T)/a_(C)` or ` B=tan^(-1)` (a_(T)/a_(C))`.
