A car is travelling at \(30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) speed on a circuiar road of radius \(300 \mathrm{~m}\). If its speed is increasing at the rate of 4 \(\mathrm{ms}^{-2}\), then its acceleration is

  1. A \(2.7 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity of car, V=30 m/s Radius of road, \(\mathrm{R}=300 \mathrm{~m}\). Tangential acceleration, \(a_T=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) Centripetal acceleration, \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^2}{\dot{\mathrm{R}}}\)…
