The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given position vector of the particle and evaluate the statements provided. The position vector is given as: \[ \vec{R} = 4 \sin(2\pi t) \hat{i} + 4 \cos(2\pi t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 1: Identify the path of the particle To find the path of the particle, we can express the x and y coordinates in terms of the sine and cosine functions: - \( x = 4 \sin(2\pi t) \) - \( y = 4 \cos(2\pi t) \) ### Step 2: Determine the locus of motion Using the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \), we can relate x and y: \[ \left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{y}{4}\right)^2 = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 16 \] This equation represents a circle with a radius of 4 meters centered at the origin. ### Step 3: Analyze the first statement The first statement claims that the path of the particle is a circle of radius 4 meters. Since we derived that the particle indeed moves in a circle of radius 4 meters, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Calculate the velocity vector Next, we find the velocity vector by differentiating the position vector with respect to time: \[ \vec{V} = \frac{d\vec{R}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4 \sin(2\pi t) \hat{i} + 4 \cos(2\pi t) \hat{j}) \] Using the chain rule: \[ \vec{V} = 4(2\pi \cos(2\pi t)) \hat{i} - 4(2\pi \sin(2\pi t)) \hat{j} = 8\pi \cos(2\pi t) \hat{i} - 8\pi \sin(2\pi t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the acceleration vector Now, we differentiate the velocity vector to find the acceleration vector: \[ \vec{A} = \frac{d\vec{V}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8\pi \cos(2\pi t) \hat{i} - 8\pi \sin(2\pi t) \hat{j}) \] Applying the chain rule again: \[ \vec{A} = -8\pi(2\pi \sin(2\pi t)) \hat{i} - 8\pi(2\pi \cos(2\pi t)) \hat{j} = -16\pi^2 \sin(2\pi t) \hat{i} - 16\pi^2 \cos(2\pi t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 6: Express acceleration in terms of position vector We can express the acceleration vector in terms of the position vector \(\vec{R}\): \[ \vec{A} = -4\pi^2 \vec{R} \] This shows that the acceleration vector is indeed directed along \(-\vec{R}\), confirming that the second statement is **correct**. ### Step 7: Analyze the third statement The third statement claims that the magnitude of the acceleration vector is given by \( \frac{v^2}{r} \). First, we find the magnitude of the acceleration: \[ |\vec{A}| = 16\pi^2 \] Next, we compute the magnitude of the velocity: \[ |\vec{V}| = \sqrt{(8\pi \cos(2\pi t))^2 + (-8\pi \sin(2\pi t))^2} = 8\pi \] Now, we calculate \( \frac{v^2}{r} \): \[ \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(8\pi)^2}{4} = 16\pi^2 \] Since both magnitudes match, the third statement is **correct**. ### Step 8: Analyze the fourth statement The fourth statement claims that the magnitude of the velocity of the particle is 8 m/s. However, we found that: \[ |\vec{V}| = 8\pi \approx 25.13 \text{ m/s} \] Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion The wrong statement regarding the motion of the particle is the fourth one.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given position vector of the particle and evaluate the statements provided. The position vector is given as: \[ \vec{R} = 4 \sin(2\pi t) \hat{i} + 4 \cos(2\pi t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 1: Identify the path of the particle ...
