Question

A particle is kept fixed on a uniformly rotating turn-table  As seen from the ground , the particle goes in a circle, its speed is 10 cm/s and acceleration is 10 cm/s2.The particle is now shifted to a new position to make the radius half of the original value.The new values of the speed and acceleration will be

Options

A.20 cm/s, 20 cm/s2
B.10 cm/s, 80 cm/s2
C.40 cm/s, 10 cm/s2
D.40 cm/s,40 cm/s2

Solution

Uniformly rotating turn table means angular velocity is constant. New radius is half of the original value.
r′ = 2r and  ω = constant
v′ = ωr′ = 2ωr = 2v = 20 cm/s            Ans.
a′ = ω2 r′= 2ω2r = 2a = 20 cm/s2        Ans.
