Circular MotionHard

Question

A particle moves along a circle of radius m with tangential acceleration of constant magnitude. If the speed of the particle is 80 m/s at the end of the second revolution after motion has begun, the tangential acceleration is:

Options

A.160 π m/s2
B.40 π m/s2
C.40 m/s2
D.640 π m/s2

Solution

r = m,  at = constant
n = 2nd revolution
v = 80 m/s  
ω0 = 0, ωf = = =  4μ rad/sec
θ = 2π × 2 = 4π
from 3rd equation
ω2 = ω02 + 2αθ
⇒    (4π)2 = 02 + 2 × α × (4π)
α = 2π rad/s2
at = αr = 2π × = 40 m/s2    Ans.
