JEE Main & Advanced Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question Bank Uniform Circular Motion

  • question_answer
    Two particles of equal masses are revolving in circular paths of radii \[{{r}_{1}}\] and \[{{r}_{2}}\] respectively with the same speed. The ratio of their centripetal forces is                 [NCERT 1984]

    A)   \[\frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}}\]   

    B)   \[\sqrt{\frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}}}\]

    C)   \[{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]   

    D)   \[{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}.\] If m and v are constants then \[F\propto \frac{1}{r}\]             \ \[\frac{{{F}_{1}}}{{{F}_{2}}}=\left( \frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)\]
