JEE Main & Advanced Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question Bank Uniform Circular Motion

  • question_answer
    Two bodies of equal masses revolve in circular orbits of radii \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] with the same period. Their centripetal forces are in the ratio                        [Kerala PMT 2004]

    A)             \[{{\left( \frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}\]

    B)                    \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}\]

    C)                 \[{{\left( \frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]

    D)                             \[\sqrt{{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[F=m\left( \frac{4{{\pi }^{2}}}{{{T}^{2}}} \right)R\]. If masses and time periods are same then \[F\propto R\] \ \[{{F}_{1}}/{{F}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}/{{R}_{2}}\]
