NEET Circular Motion MCQs & PYQs

Q: A stone is moved round a horizontal circle with a 20 cm long string tied to If centripetal acceleration is 9.8 m/s2, then its angular velocity will be :

Centripetal Acceleration is given by a= ω²R ⇒ 9.8 = ω²× 1/5 ⇒ ω² =49 ⇒ ω = 7 rad/sec

Q: A wheel having diameter of 3 m starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to an angular velocity of 210 rpm in 5 seconds. Angular acceleration of the wheel is :

ω = ω + α . t ⇒(210 × 2π)/60 = 0 + α × 5 ⇒ α = 1.4 π rad/sec ²

Q: A car has to move on a level turn of radius (R = 50m). If the coefficient of static friction between tyre and road is µ = 0.2. Find the maximum speed the car can take without skidding is given by :

For safe turning on a horizontal road. μ = v²/ rg ⇒ v= (μ rg ) 1/2 v = (0.2 × 50 × 10 ) 1/2 = 10 m/s

Q: A coin placed on a rotating turntable just slips if it is placed at a distance of 4 cm from the If the angular velocity of the turntable is doubled, it will just slip at a distance of :

F= mω²r As the distance will increase centrifugal force acting on the object will also increase. As slipping starts at 4 cm object will not slip at radius smaller than 4cm.

Q: A store of mass 5 kg is tied to a string of length 10 m is whirled round in a horizontal circle. What is the maximum speed with which the stone can be whirled around if the string can withstand a maximum tension of 200 N :

Tension force will provide required centripetal force so, T = mv²/r ⇒ 200 = 5 v²/10 ⇒ v² = 400 ⇒ v =20 m/s

Question 1:

easy

A stone is moved round a horizontal circle with a 20 cm long string tied to If centripetal acceleration is 9.8 m/s², then its angular velocity will be :

Centripetal Acceleration is given by a= ω²R

⇒ 9.8 = ω²× 1/5

⇒ ω² =49

⇒ ω = 7 rad/sec

Question 4:

easy

Two bodies of masses 10 kg and 5 kg moving on concentric orbits of radii R and r such that their period of revolution are same. The ratio of their centripetal acceleration is :

As time period of revolution is same for both the particles angular speed will be equal for both.

Centripetal Acceleration is given by ω²r.

so a₁ / a₂ = R/r

Question 5:

easy

A stone of mass m is tied to a string of length l and rotated in a circle with a constant speed v. If the string is released, the stone flies :

In Circular motion velocity of the particle is always directed along tangent. So when string is released object moves tangentially.

Question 6:

easy

A car has to move on a level turn of radius (R = 50m). If the coefficient of static friction between tyre and road is µ = 0.2. Find the maximum speed the car can take without skidding is given by :

For safe turning on a horizontal road.

μ = v²/ rg ⇒ v= (μ rg ) ^1/2

v = (0.2 × 50 × 10 )^1/2 = 10 m/s

Question 7:

easy

A coin placed on a rotating turntable just slips if it is placed at a distance of 4 cm from the If the angular velocity of the turntable is doubled, it will just slip at a distance of :

F= mω²r

As the distance will increase centrifugal force acting on the object will also increase. As slipping starts at 4 cm object will not slip at radius smaller than 4cm.

Question 8:

easy

A stone of mass 1 kg tied to one end of a string 1.0 m long is revolved in a horizontal circle at the rate of 10/π revolution per second. Calculate the tension of the string ?

Tension force in the string will provide required centripetal force

T = mω²r= 1× (10/π ×2π)²×1= 400 N

Question 9:

easy

A store of mass 5 kg is tied to a string of length 10 m is whirled round in a horizontal circle. What is the maximum speed with which the stone can be whirled around if the string can withstand a maximum tension of 200 N :

Tension force will provide required centripetal force so,

T = mv²/r

⇒ 200 = 5 v²/10 ⇒ v² = 400 ⇒ v =20 m/s

Question 10:

easy

A cyclist is moving with speeding up itself in a circular track then work done by net force on cyclist will be :

As the speed of cyclist is increasing positive tangential acceleration is acting on the object. so net acceleration makes an acute angle with velocity.

As, net acceleration and net force will have same direction, angle between velocity and net force is acute. Work done will be positive.
