AIIMS 2017 Physics Centripetal Force and Acceleration MCQ Question
The particle of mass m is moving in a circular path of constant radius r such that its centripetal acceleration aₚ is varying with time t as aₚ = k²rt², where k is a constant. The power delivered to particle by the force acting on it is
2πmk²r²t
mk²r²t
1/3 mk⁴r²t⁵
Zero
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
To find the power delivered to the particle, we first determine the tangential acceleration using the relationship between centripetal acceleration and the radius . Given , we can express the tangential velocity as where is the angular velocity. The tangential acceleration can be derived from the change in , leading to . The power is then calculated as , confirming option B.
Options A and C are incorrect because they either miscalculate the relationship between force, acceleration, and velocity or introduce unnecessary variables, while option D is incorrect as there is indeed power being delivered due to the tangential acceleration.
