Question

A point moves along an arc of a circle of radius R. Its velocity depends upon the distance covered `s' as v=As, where a is constant. The angle θ between the vector of total acceleration and tangential acceleration is:

Solution

The correct option is D tanθ=2sR

v=2s .....(i)
Squaring both sides
v2=a2s ....(ii)
ac=v2R=a2sR
at=dvdt [multiply and divide RHS by ds]
at=dvds(dsdt)=vdvds .....(iii) [v=dsdt]
Differentiate equation(ii)
2vdvds=a2
vdvds=a22 use this result in equation (iii) we get
at=a22
tanθ=acat=a2s×2Ra2=2sR
