A body of mass is moving in a circle of radius with a constant speed . The work done by the centripetal force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle is

Important Questions on Kinematics
Reason (R): The trains have different centripetal accelerations due to different speeds.







Two particles are moving on two concentric circles of radii and with equal angular speed At their positions and direction of motion are shown in the figure:
The relative velocity at is given by:




What is an artificial satellite? Name any two types of artificial satellite and state their functions.

A small block of mass is tied to a spring of spring constant and length The other end of spring is fixed at a particular point If the block moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular velocity about point then tension in the spring is



A mass moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity at a radius . The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in plane as shown.
The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally moves in a circle of radius . The final value of the kinetic energy is:

If the kinetic energy of a particle of mass performing uniform circular motion in a circle of radius is find the acceleration of the particle.

Two stones of masses and are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius and the lighter one in radius . The tangential speed of lighter stone is times that of the tangential speed of the heavier stone. They are reported to experience the same centripetal force. The value of is,
