Important Questions on Motion in a Plane



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 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:





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:



A particle is moving with constant speed in a circular path. When the particle turns by an angle the ratio of instantaneous velocity to its average velocity is The value of will be

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
