1. Derive the expression for the centripetal acceleration.

Ans. The expression for the centripetal acceleration. The expression for the centripetal
acceleration. he expression for the centripetal acceleration. When an object follows a
circular path at constant speed , the motion of the object is called uniform circular
motion. The magnitude of its acceleration is Xk= Y 2 / u. The direction of Xk is always
towards the centre of the circle . The angular speed is the rate of change of angular
distance . It is related to velocity Yby Y = u. The acceleration is Xk= Ru If T is the
time period of revolution of the object in circular motion and is its frequency. We have
= 2 , Y =2R , Xk= 4 R Ru.

2. A toy car rolls down the inclined plane as shown in the fig. It goes around
the loop at the bottom. What is the relation between H and h
Ans. When car rolls down the inclined plane from height H, then velocity acquired by it
at the lowest point 2g Hv .(i) and for looping of loop, velocity at the lowest point
should be 5 g rv .(ii) From eqn (i) and (ii) 5gr 2gH v 2 5r H .(iii) From
the figure 2r hH 2 H h r Substituting the value of r in equation (iii) we get
2 2 5 H h H 5 h H
