Machine Kinematics – Linear Velocity – 2
1 - Question
The unit of linear acceleration is
a) kg-m
b) m/s
c) m/s2
d) rad/s2
View Answer
Explanation: Linear acceleration, a = dv/dt unit of dv = m/s and dt = s therefore, dv/dt = m/s2
2 - Question
The angular velocity (in rad/s) of a body rotating at N r.p.m. is
a) π N/60
b) 2 π N/60
c) π N/120
d) π N/180
View Answer
Explanation: Angular velocity may be defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. It is usually expressed by a Greek letter ω (omega). Mathematically, angular velocity, ω =dθ/dt
3 - Question
The linear velocity of a body rotating at ω rad/s along a circular path of radius r is given by
a) ω.r
b) ω/r
c) ω2.r
d) ω2/r
View Answer
Explanation: Linear velocity = ω.r
4 - Question
When a particle moves along a straight path, then the particle has
a) tangential acceleration only
b) centripetal acceleration only
c) both tangential and centripetal acceleration
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When a particle moves along a straight path, then the radius of curvature is infinitely great. This means that v2/r is zero. In other words, there will be no normal or radial or centripetal acceleration. Therefore, the particle has only tangential acceleration.
5 - Question
When a particle moves with a uniform velocity along a circular path, then the particle has
a) tangential acceleration only
b) centripetal acceleration only
c) both tangential and centripetal acceleration
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When a particle moves with a uniform velocity, then dv/dt will be zero. In other words, there will be no tangential acceleration; but the particle will have only normal or radial or centripetal acceleration.
6 - Question
When the motion of a body is confined to only one plane, the motion is said to be
a) translatory motion
b) plane motion
c) culvilinear motion
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When the motion of a body is confined to only one plane, the motion is said to be plane motion. When the motion of a body is along a straight line path, it is called translatory motion. When the motion of a body is along a curved path, it is called culvilinear motion.
7 - Question
When the motion of a body is along a straight line path, it is called
a) translatory motion
b) plane motion
c) culvilinear motion
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When the motion of a body is confined to only one plane, the motion is said to be plane motion. When the motion of a body is along a straight line path, it is called translatory motion. When the motion of a body is along a curved path, it is called culvilinear motion.
8 - Question
When the motion of a body is along a curved path, it is called
a) translatory motion
b) plane motion
c) culvilinear motion
