Two particles, A and B, are in uniform circular motion about a common center. The acceleration of particle A is 4.9 times that of particle B. The period of particle B is 2.4 times the period of particle A. The ratio of the radius of the motion of particle A to that of particle B is closest to________.

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{R_A}{R_B}=0.85[/tex]

Explanation:

given,

Acceleration of Particle A = 4.9 times particle B

Period of particle B = 2.4 times Period of A

Ratio of radius of the motion of particle A to B = ?

For Particle A

     [tex]a_A = \dfrac{v_A^2}{R_A}[/tex]

For Particle B

     [tex]a_B = \dfrac{v_B^2}{R_B}[/tex]

Form the question

[tex]\dfrac{a_A}{a_B}=4.9[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{v_A^2R_B}{v_B^2R_A}=4.9[/tex]

and

[tex]\dfrac{T_B}{T_A}=2.4=\dfrac{R_Bv_A}{v_BR_A}[/tex]

[tex]5.76 = \dfrac{R_B^2v_A^2}{v_B^2R_A^2}[/tex]

[tex]5.76= 4.9\times \dfrac{R_B}{R_A}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{R_A}{R_B}=0.85[/tex]

Hence, the ration of the radius of the Particle A that of B = 0.85.
