The correct Answer is:
To find the net acceleration of a particle moving in a circular path, we need to consider both the centripetal (or radial) acceleration and the tangential acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of Acceleration**: - The net acceleration of the particle in circular motion can be expressed as the sum of centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration. - Centripetal acceleration (\( \vec{a}_c \)) is directed towards the center of the circular path and is given by the formula: \[ \vec{a}_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \hat{r} = \omega^2 r \hat{r} \] where \( v \) is the linear velocity, \( r \) is the radius of the circular path, and \( \hat{r} \) is the unit vector pointing radially inward. 2. **Tangential Acceleration**: - The tangential acceleration (\( \vec{a}_t \)) is due to the change in the speed of the particle along the circular path and is given by: \[ \vec{a}_t = \alpha \times r \] where \( \alpha \) is the angular acceleration. 3. **Net Acceleration**: - The net acceleration (\( \vec{a} \)) of the particle can be expressed as the vector sum of the centripetal and tangential accelerations: \[ \vec{a} = \vec{a}_c + \vec{a}_t \] - Substituting the expressions for \( \vec{a}_c \) and \( \vec{a}_t \): \[ \vec{a} = \frac{v^2}{r} \hat{r} + \alpha \times r \] 4. **Final Expression**: - Therefore, the net acceleration of the particle moving in a circular path can be expressed as: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{v^2}{r} \hat{r} + \alpha \times \vec{r} \]
