Circular Motion

Motion of a particle (point mass) along a circular path


It’s distance always constant with respect to a fixed point
Direction of motion changes
It’s an accelerated motion

A wheel is subjected to uniform angular acceleration about it’s axis, Initially at rest
if in first 3 seconds it rotates through angle θ1. In next 3 seconds, it rotates through
angle θ2. Find the ratio of θ2/ θ1.
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Given: ω 0 = 0
Let angular acceleration = α

For first 3 seconds For t = 0 to t = 6


t=3; θ = θ1
1 t=6; θ = θ1 + θ2
Using, θ = ω0t + α t2

1 9 θ1 + θ2 = 0 (t) + (36) = 36 α
θ1 = α (9) = α 2 2
2 2
θ1 + θ2 = 18 α
θ1 = 9/2 α
Angular displacement for t = 3 to t = 6 sec.

θ2 = θ – θ = 36 9
2 α – 2 α = 2 α

θ1 = 9/2 α θ2 = 27/2 α

θ2 27 α/2 θ2
∴ ∴ = 3
