Assignment Circular Motion
1. The wheel of an automobile is rotating with 4 rotations per second. Find its
angular velocity. If the radius of the flywheel is 50 cm, find the linear velocity of a
point on its circumference. (8 π rad/s, 1257.1 rad/s)
2. A body is moving in a circle of radius 100 cm with a time period of 2 second. Find
the acceleration. (987.7 cm/s2)
3. The angular velocity of cyclist is 2 rad/s on a circular plane. If the centripetal
acceleration is 8 m/s2, find the radius of the circle. (2m)
4. An insect trapped in a circular groove of radius 12 cm moves along the groove
steadily and completes 7 revolutions in 100s (a) What is the angular speed of the
motion? (b) Is the acceleration vector a constant vector? What is its magnitude?
(0.44 rad/s, 5.3 cm/s (b) Not constant, 2.3 cm/s 2)
5. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of a point on the equator of earth due to
rotation of Earth about its own axis. (Radius of Earth= 6.4X106 m)
(439km/h2)
6. A particle is rotating on a circular track of radius 1m with constant angular
acceleration π rad/s2. Find the total acceleration of the particle when its velocity
becomes 1.77 m/s. (π√2m/s2)
7. The angular velocity of a particle moving in a circle of radius 50 cm is increased in
5 minutes from 100 revolutions per minute to 400 revolutions per minute. Find
(a) Angular acceleration (b) Linear Acceleration. (π/30 rad/s2, 5 π/3 cm/s2)
