An insect trapped in a circular groove of radius 12 cm moves along the groove steadily and completes 7 revolutions in 100 s.
(a) What is the angular speed, and the linear speed of the motion ?
(b) Is the acceleration vector a constant vector ? What is its magnitude ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is an example of uniform circular motion.
Here R=12 cm
the angular speed `omega` is given by
`omega=2pi //T=2pixx7//100=0.44` rad/s

A particle moves along circle of radius ((20)/(pi)) m with constant tangential acceleration. If the speed of the particle is 80 m//s at the end of the second revolution after motion has begun, the tangential acceleration is
