Question
The kinetic energy k of a particle moving along a circle of radius R depends on the distance covered s as k = as2 where a is a positive constant. The total force acting on the particle is :
Options
A.2a
B.2as
C.2as
D.2a
Solution
K =
mv2 = as2 ⇒ v2 = 
aC =
= 
at =
= 
a =
= 

Total force = ma = 2as
Ans.
aC =
at =
a =
Total force = ma = 2as
