For any particle moving with some velocity (vecv) & acceleration (veca) , tangential acceleration & normal acceleration are defined as follows. Tangential acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction of velocity. Normal acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction perpendicular to velocity. If at a given instant, velocity & acceleration of a particle are given by . vecc=4hati +3hatj vaca=10hati+15hatj+20hatk Find the tangential acceleration of the particle at the given instant :-

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.
