Final Answer : (A,C,D)
4) Explain Question : A ball tied to a string moves in a vertical circle under gravity. We need
to analyse tangential acceleration and radial acceleration at different positions and choose the
correct statements.
Concept : Vertical circular motion under gravity
Tangential acceleration:
at = g sinθ
Radial (centripetal) acceleration:
ac = v² / R
Solution :
When the string makes 90° with the vertical, the ball is at the horizontal position.
Then,
at = g sin 90° = g (Maximum value)
Radial acceleration depends on speed v at that point.
It is neither maximum nor minimum there, so it lies between extremes.
Therefore, statement (2) is correct and statement (1) is wrong.
Radial acceleration is
Maximum at lowest point
Minimum at highest point
At both points,
sinθ = 0 ⇒ at = 0
So whenever radial acceleration is at extreme value, tangential acceleration becomes zero.
Therefore, statement (4) is correct.
Final Answer : (B,C,D)

7) Explain Question : We need to choose correct option which correctly matches the
conditions of graphs given in list-I to conclusions available in list-II.
Concept : Graphical analysis of motion of particle.
Solution :
(P)
Direction changes with sign of V. Initial & final position are zero so it returns to initial
position. Graph is parabolic, hence, acceleration is constant & neagtive. v = 0, means particle
comes to rest. Initial slope is nonzero, so initial velocity is non zero.
(Q)
Speed does not have direction. It is possible to return back. Slope is tanθ is constant so,
acceleration is constant,
Rest means speed = 0
But initial speed is ≠ 0
(R)
Acceleration cannot give direction of velocity. It is possible to return back. Acceleration is not
constant area of a/t graph gives change in velocity only.
(S)
Distance has no direction, but it is possible to return back, slope, tan θ = speed.
