A particle is moving along the circular path with constant speed and centripetal acceleration ' \(a\) '. If the speed is doubled, the ratio of its acceleration after and before the change is
- A 3:1
- B 1:4
- C 2:1
- D 4:1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 4:1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Centripetal acceleration is given by
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{r}} \therefore \mathrm{a} \propto \mathrm{v}^2 \\
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}_2}{\mathrm{a}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_2}{\mathrm{v}_1}\right)^2=(2)^2=4
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{r}} \therefore \mathrm{a} \propto \mathrm{v}^2 \\
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}_2}{\mathrm{a}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_2}{\mathrm{v}_1}\right)^2=(2)^2=4
\end{aligned}\)
