A stone tied to the end of a long string is whirled around in a horizontal circle. If the centripetal acceleration is , its angular speed in is

Important Questions on Motion in a Plane
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:




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.








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:







In the given figure, represents the total acceleration of a particle moving in the clockwise direction in a circle of the radius at a given instant of time. The speed of the particle is
