A particle at rest starts moving with a constant angular acceleration of \(4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\) in a circular path. At what time the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration will be equal
- A \(\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{sec}\)
- B \(\frac{2}{3} \sec\)
- C \(\frac{1}{2} \sec\)
- D \(\frac{1}{3} \sec\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{2} \sec\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \alpha=4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\ & \text { Centripetal (radial) acceleration, } \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{r} \omega^2 \\ & \text { Tangential acceleration, } \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{r} \alpha \\ & \text { If } \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{t}} \text {, then } \mathrm{r} \omega^2=\mathrm{r} \alpha \\ & \omega=\sqrt{\alpha}=2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\ & \omega=\omega_0+\alpha \mathrm{t}=0+\alpha \mathrm{t}=\alpha \mathrm{t} \\ & \text { or } \mathrm{t}=\frac{\omega}{\alpha}=\frac{1}{2} \sec \end{aligned}\)
