Question

What is angle between linear acceleration and angular acceleration of a particle in uniform circular motion

Answer 1

Hey dear,

# Answer - Right angle (90°)

◆ Acceleration in UCM -
- In uniform circular motion, there are two types of acceleration.

a) Linear (tangential) acceleration -
- Linear acceleration is the translational acceleration felt by an object.
- This acceleration is in direction of tangent to circle at given point.

b) Angular (centripetal) acceleration -
- Angular accleration is the rotational acceleration felt by an object about an axis.
- This acceleration is along the radius of the circle.

Therefore, angle between linear and angular acceleration is *right angle* (90°).

Hope this helps you...

Answer 2

Answer:

The angle is 90 degree.

Explanation:

the linear acceleration is on the plane of object. an angular acceleration is perpendicular to linear acceleration in uniform circular motion.
