Question

A particle of mass m is moving in a circular path of constant radius r such that its centrip-etal acceleration ac is varying with time t as ac = k2 r t2, where k is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it is

Options

A.2πmk2r2
B.mk2r2t
C.
D.zero

Solution

ac = k2r2
or = k2rt2 or v = krt
Therefore, tangential acceleration, at = = kr
or       Tangential force, Ft = ma = mkr
Only tangential force does work
   Power = Ftv = (mkr) = (krt)
or Power = mk2r2t
