The velocity and acceleration vectors of a particle undergoing circular motion are, and , respectively, at an instant of time. The radius of the circle is,


Important Questions on Circular Motion

A particle moves along a circle of radius so that its radius vector relative to the fixed point (figure) rotates with the constant angular velocity . Then modulus of the velocity of the particle, and the modulus of its total acceleration will be


A large mass is stationary at the end of a light string that passes through a smooth fixed ring to a small mass that moves around in a horizontal circular path. If is the length of the string from to the top end of the tube and is angle between this part and vertical part of the string as shown in the figure, then the time taken by to complete one circle is equal to,

Three identical particles are joined together by a thread as shown in figure. All the three particles are moving on a smooth horizontal plane about point . If the speed of the outermost particle is , then the ratio of tensions in the three sections of the string is (assume that the string remains straight),



A small frictionless block slides with velocity on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The block leaves the surface at point . The angle in the figure is,
