    A particle moves along a circle of radius \[\left( \frac{20}{\pi } \right)\,m\] with constant tangential acceleration. If the velocity of the particle is 80 m/s at the end of the second revolution after motion has begun, the tangential acceleration is: [AIPMT 2003]

    A) \[160\,\,\pi \,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    B) \[40\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C) \[40\,\,\pi \,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    D) \[640\,\,\pi \,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The tangential acceleration in a circular path is the product of radius of circular path and angular acceleration. The tangential acceleration
                            \[{{a}_{T}}=r\alpha \]                           ...(i)
                From 2nd equation of motion in rotational motion,
                            \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\omega _{0}^{2}+2\alpha \theta \]
                Here,     \[{{\omega }_{0}}=0,\,\omega =\frac{v}{r}=\frac{80}{20/\pi }=4\pi \,\,\,rad/s\]
                            \[\theta =2\times 2\pi \,rad\]
                So,       \[\alpha =\frac{{{\omega }^{2}}}{2\theta }=\frac{{{(4\pi )}^{2}}}{2\times (2\times 2\pi )}\]
                            \[=\frac{16{{\pi }^{2}}}{8\pi }=2\pi \]
                Hence, from Eq. (i), we have
                            \[{{a}_{T}}=r\alpha =\frac{20}{\pi }\times 2\pi =40\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]
