3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

A uniform circular disc of radius $50\, cm$ at rest is free to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. It is subjected to a torque which produces a constant angular acceleration of $2.0\, rad \,s^{-2}$. Its net acceleration in $ms^{-2}$ at the end of $2.0\,s$  is approximately

A$7.0$
B$6.0$
C$3.0$
D$8.0$

Solution

Given, $r = 50 \,cm = 0.5$ m,$\alpha  = 2.0\,rad\,{s^{ – 2}},{\omega _0} = 0$
At the end of $2\, s,$
Tangential acceleration, ${a_i} = r\alpha  = 0.5 \times 2 = 1\,m\,{s^{ – 2}}$
Radial acceleration, ${a_r} = {\omega ^2}r = {\left( {{\omega _0} + \alpha t} \right)^2}r$
          $ = {\left( {0 + 2 \times 2} \right)^2} \times 0.5 = 8\,m\,{s^{ – 2}}$
  $\therefore $ Net acceleration
$a = \sqrt {a_t^2 + a_r^2}  = \sqrt {{1^2} + {8^2}}  = \sqrt {65}  \approx 8\,m\,{s^{ – 2}}$
