MCQ
For circular motion, if ${\vec a_t},\,{\vec a_c},\,\vec r$ and $\vec v$ are tangential acceleration, centripetal acceleration, radius vector and velocitym respectively, then find the wrong relation
  • A
    ${\vec a_t}.{\vec a_c} = 0$
  • B
    ${\vec a_t}.\vec v$ may be positive or negative
  • ${\vec a_c}.\vec v$ may be positive or negative
  • D
    ${\vec a_c}.\vec v = 0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\vec a_c}.\vec v$ may be positive or negative
c
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{t}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{c}}=0 \quad$ as $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{c}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=0 \quad$ as $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{t}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ may be $+\mathrm{ve}$ or $-\mathrm{ve}$

A particle of mass $m$ is projected from the ground with an initial speed $u_0$ at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, it makes a completely inelastic collision with another identical particle, which was thrown vertically upward from the ground with the same initial speed $u_0$. The angle that the composite system makes with the horizontal immediately after the collision is :
