Important Questions on Rotational Dynamics
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 clock has a continuously moving second's hand of length. The average acceleration of the tip of the hand (in units of ) is of the order of :









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
