In non-uniform circular motion, the ratio of tangential to radial acceleration is ( \(r\) is radius of circle, \(v\) is speed of the particle, \(\alpha\) is angular acceleration)

  1. A \(\frac{\alpha r^2}{v^2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\alpha^2 r}{v^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\alpha^2 r^2}{v}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v^2}{r^2 \alpha}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\alpha r^2}{v^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ratio of tangential to radial acceleration is given by,
\(\frac{a_t}{a_r}=\frac{r \alpha}{v^2 / r}=\frac{r^2 \alpha}{v^2}\)
