A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed. Choose the correct statement.
Angular momentum remains constant
Acceleration ($\vec a$) is towards the center
Particle moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius
The direction of angular momentum remains constant
In circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by
Consider a circle of radius $42\ cm$. An insect crawls with uniform speed of $1.3\ cm/s$ along the chord $AB$ then along the circular arc $BCD$ to reach point $D$ and then following cord $DA$ to reach finally $A$. Time spend by the insect to crawl from $A$ to $A$ is closest to ......... $\sec$
A cyclist is riding with a speed of $27 \;km/h.$ As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius $80\; m$, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of $0.50\; m/s$ every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn ?
For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration $\vec a$ at a point $P(R,\theta)$ on the circle of radius $R$ is (Here $\theta$ is measured from the $x-$ axis)
Consider the two statements related to circular motion in usual notations
$A$. In uniform circular motion $\vec{\omega}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{a}$ are always mutually perpendicular
$B$. In non-uniform circular motion, $\vec{\omega}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{a}$ are always mutually perpendicular
