The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angular acceleration (α) of a particle moving in a circular path with constant acceleration, given that the net acceleration makes an angle of 30 degrees with the radius vector at time t. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components of Acceleration**: - The net acceleration (A) of the particle can be broken down into two components: - Tangential acceleration (At), which is directed along the tangent to the circular path. - Centripetal acceleration (Ac), which is directed towards the center of the circular path. - Given that the angle between the net acceleration and the radius vector is 30 degrees, we can use trigonometric relationships to express these components. 2. **Using Trigonometry**: - From the angle given (30 degrees), we can write: \[ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{A_t}{A_c} \] - We know that \(\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). Therefore, we can express this relationship as: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_c} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 3. **Expressing Accelerations in Terms of Angular Acceleration**: - The tangential acceleration \(A_t\) can be expressed as: \[ A_t = \alpha r \] - The centripetal acceleration \(A_c\) can be expressed as: \[ A_c = \omega^2 r \] - Substituting these into our earlier equation gives: \[ \frac{\alpha r}{\omega^2 r} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] - The radius \(r\) cancels out, leading to: \[ \frac{\alpha}{\omega^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 4. **Relating Angular Velocity to Angular Acceleration**: - We know that the angular velocity \(\omega\) can be expressed in terms of angular acceleration \(\alpha\) and time \(t\): \[ \omega = \alpha t \] - Substituting this into the equation \(\frac{\alpha}{\omega^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) gives: \[ \frac{\alpha}{(\alpha t)^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\alpha}{\alpha^2 t^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] - Cancelling one \(\alpha\) from the numerator and denominator, we have: \[ \frac{1}{\alpha t^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 5. **Solving for Angular Acceleration**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \alpha t^2 = \sqrt{3} \] - Therefore, the angular acceleration \(\alpha\) is: \[ \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{t^2} \] ### Final Answer: The angular acceleration of the particle at time \(t\) is: \[ \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{t^2} \]
