If a(r ) and a(t) respresent radial and ...

If `a_(r )` and `a_(t)` respresent radial and tangential acceleration, the motion of a particle will be circualr is

A

`a_(r) = 0` and `a_(t) = 0`

B

`a_(r) = 0` but `a_(t) != 0`

C

`a_(r) != 0` and `a_(t) = 0`

D

`a_(r) !=0` and `a_(t) != 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
In uniform circular motion, `a_(t) = 0`, but in non uniform circular motion, `a_(t) != 0`. In both cases, `a_(r) != 0`.

Variation OF Radial and Tangential Acceleration in Circular motion

Assertion : For uniform circular motion it is necessary the speed of the particle is constant. Reason : There is no tangential force or tangential acceleration acting on particle in uniform circular motion.

A particle is performing non UCM, the acceleration of the particle is veca_(R)=veca_(r)+veca_(T) , where vec a_(r) is radial component of acceleration. If veca_(r)=0 , the motion of the particle is

The tangential and radial acceleration of a particle are a(t) and a(r) respectively. The motion of a particle is circular if

A particle moves in a circle with constant tangential acceleration starting from rest. At t = 1/2 s radial acceleration has a value 25% of tangential acceleration. The value of tangential acceleration will be correctly represented by
