The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the point object moving along a circular path and find the relationship between the total acceleration and the tangential acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - The object moves along an arc of a circle with radius \( R \). - The velocity \( V \) of the object is given by the equation \( V = K \sqrt{S} \), where \( K \) is a constant and \( S \) is the distance covered. 2. **Finding Tangential Acceleration**: - Tangential acceleration \( a_t \) is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. - We differentiate the velocity \( V \) with respect to time: \[ a_t = \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d(K \sqrt{S})}{dt} \] - Using the chain rule, we have: \[ a_t = K \cdot \frac{1}{2} S^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{K}{2\sqrt{S}} \cdot V \] - Since \( V = K \sqrt{S} \), substituting this in gives: \[ a_t = \frac{K}{2\sqrt{S}} \cdot K \sqrt{S} = \frac{K^2}{2} \] 3. **Finding Normal (Centripetal) Acceleration**: - The normal acceleration \( a_n \) (centripetal acceleration) is given by: \[ a_n = \frac{V^2}{R} \] - Substituting \( V = K \sqrt{S} \): \[ a_n = \frac{(K \sqrt{S})^2}{R} = \frac{K^2 S}{R} \] 4. **Finding the Angle \( \theta \)**: - The angle \( \theta \) between the total acceleration \( a \) and the tangential acceleration \( a_t \) can be found using the tangent of the angle: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{a_n}{a_t} \] - Substituting the expressions for \( a_n \) and \( a_t \): \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\frac{K^2 S}{R}}{\frac{K^2}{2}} = \frac{2S}{R} \] 5. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the relationship between the angle \( \theta \) and the distance \( S \) is: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{2S}{R} \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{2S}{R} \]
