A particle is in uniform circular motion. The equation of its trajectory is given by \((x-2)^2+y^2=25\), where x and y are in meter. The speed of the particle is \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), when the particle attains the lowest ' \(y\) ' co-ordinate, the acceleration of the particle is (in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(0.4 \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
  2. B \(0.8 \hat{\mathrm{i}}\)
  3. C \(0.8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
  4. D \(0.4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((x-2)^2+y^2=25\)

Equation of circle center \(\Rightarrow(2,0)\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& r^2=25 \\
& r=5 \\
& a_c=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{2^2}{5} \\
& =0.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\
& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}}=0.8 \hat{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2
\end{aligned}\)
