MCQ
A body is moving on a circle of radius $80 \,m$ with a speed $20 \,m / s$ which is decreasing at the rate $5 \,m / s ^2$ at an instant. The angle made by its acceleration with its velocity is ..........
  • A
    $45$
  • B
    $90$
  • $135$
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$135$
c
(c)

Centrapetal acceleration, $a _{ c }=\frac{ v ^2}{ r }=\frac{20^2}{80}$

$=5\,m / s ^2$

If the brake is applied in the movement of body at $P$ of circular turn , acceleration along the target $=5 \,m / sec$

Angle between both the acceleration $=90^{\circ}$

the magnitude of resultant acceleration

$a =\sqrt{ a _{ c }^2+ a _5^2}=\sqrt{5^2+5^2}=5 \sqrt{2}\, m / sec$

List the resultant acceleration make an angle $\theta$ with tangent

$\tan \theta=\frac{ a _{ c }}{ a _5}=\frac{5}{5}=1$

$\theta=45^{\circ}$

Therefore required angle is $90^{\circ}+45^{\circ}$

$=135^{\circ}$
