Question Number 16505 by Tinkutara last updated on 23/Jun/17

What is the maximum magnitude of  change in velocity of a motorcycle  moving with a uniform speed v_0  in a  circular path of length l = (π/3)R and  radius R? Treat motorcycle as a  particle  (1) ∣Δv^→ ∣ = (v_0 /2)  (2) ∣Δv^→ ∣ = v_0

∣Δv^→ ∣^2 = ∣v_f ^→ −v_i ^→ ∣^2                =v_i ^2 +v_f ^2 −2v_i v_f  cos θ               = v_0 ^2 +v_0 ^2 −2v_0 ^2 cos (π/3)               = v_0 ^2    therefore  option  (2) .

$$\mid\Delta\overset{\rightarrow} {{v}}\mid^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\mid\overset{\rightarrow} {{v}}_{{f}} −\overset{\rightarrow} {{v}}_{{i}} \mid^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:={v}_{{i}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +{v}_{{f}} ^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{v}_{{i}} {v}_{{f}} \:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:{v}_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +{v}_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{v}_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{cos}\:\left(\pi/\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:{v}_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{2}} \: \\ $$$${therefore}\:\:{option}\:\:\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:. \\ $$
