A particle starting from rest, moves in a circle of radius ‘r’. It attains a velocity of V₀ m/s in the nth round. Its angular acceleration will be:
- V₀² / 4πnr rad/s²
- V₀ / nr rad/s²
- V₀² / 2πnr² rad/s²
- V₀² / 4πnr² rad/s²
Correct answer: V₀² / 4πnr rad/s²
Solution
The angular acceleration (α) is given by the change in angular velocity (ω) over time. The angular velocity after n rounds is ω = V₀ / r. The total angle covered in n rounds is θ = 2πn. Using the equation ω² = 2αθ, substituting ω and θ, and solving for α gives α = V₀² / (4πnr).
