    A car is moving with speed 30 m/s on a circular path of radius 500 m. If its speed is increasing at a rate of \[5m/{{s}^{2}},\] then resultant acceleration at that instant is :

    A) 6.83 m/s2                            

    B) 8 m/s2

    C) 5.31 m/s2                            

    D) 4 m/s2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The car will experience two types of accelerations (i) Radial acceleration due to circular path \[{{a}_{r}}=\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{r}\] \[=\frac{{{(30)}^{2}}}{500}=1.8\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] (ii) Tangential   acceleration   due   to tangential speed \[{{a}_{T}}=\left( \frac{\Delta \upsilon }{\Delta T} \right)=5\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] Therefore, resultant acceleration                 \[a=\sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{T}^{2}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{{{(1.8)}^{2}}+{{(5)}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{28.24}=5.31\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]
