JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A wheel initially at rest is subjected to a uniform angular acceleration about its axis. In the first \(2\text{ s}\) it rotates through an angle \(\theta_1\) and in the next \(2\text{ s}\) it rotates through an angle \(\theta_2\). The ratio \(\dfrac{\theta_2}{\theta_1}\) is _______.

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the equation of rotational kinematics \(\theta = \omega_0 t + \dfrac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\). Since the wheel is initially at rest, \(\omega_0 = 0\). Angle rotated in the first \(2\text{ s}\): \(\theta_1 = \dfrac{1}{2} \alpha (2)^2 = 2\alpha\) Angle rotated in the first…
