The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the position vector of the particle given by: \[ \vec{r} = \cos(\omega t) \hat{x} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{y} \] ### Step 1: Find the Velocity Vector The velocity vector \(\vec{v}\) is the time derivative of the position vector \(\vec{r}\). \[ \vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} \] Differentiating each component: \[ \vec{v} = \frac{d}{dt}(\cos(\omega t)) \hat{x} + \frac{d}{dt}(\sin(\omega t)) \hat{y} \] Using the chain rule: \[ \vec{v} = -\sin(\omega t) \cdot \omega \hat{x} + \cos(\omega t) \cdot \omega \hat{y} \] Thus, we can factor out \(\omega\): \[ \vec{v} = \omega(-\sin(\omega t) \hat{x} + \cos(\omega t) \hat{y}) \] ### Step 2: Find the Acceleration Vector The acceleration vector \(\vec{a}\) is the time derivative of the velocity vector \(\vec{v}\). \[ \vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} \] Differentiating each component: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{d}{dt}(-\sin(\omega t) \cdot \omega) \hat{x} + \frac{d}{dt}(\cos(\omega t) \cdot \omega) \hat{y} \] Using the chain rule again: \[ \vec{a} = -\omega \cos(\omega t) \cdot \omega \hat{x} - \sin(\omega t) \cdot \omega \cdot \omega \hat{y} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \vec{a} = -\omega^2(\cos(\omega t) \hat{x} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{y}) \] Notice that this can be expressed in terms of the position vector \(\vec{r}\): \[ \vec{a} = -\omega^2 \vec{r} \] ### Step 3: Check Perpendicularity To check if \(\vec{v}\) and \(\vec{r}\) are perpendicular, we calculate the dot product \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{v}\): \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{v} = (\cos(\omega t) \hat{x} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{y}) \cdot \left(-\omega \sin(\omega t) \hat{x} + \omega \cos(\omega t) \hat{y}\right) \] Calculating the dot product: \[ = \cos(\omega t)(-\omega \sin(\omega t)) + \sin(\omega t)(\omega \cos(\omega t)) \] This simplifies to: \[ = -\omega \cos(\omega t) \sin(\omega t) + \omega \sin(\omega t) \cos(\omega t) = 0 \] Since the dot product is zero, \(\vec{r}\) and \(\vec{v}\) are perpendicular. ### Step 4: Conclusion From our calculations: - The position vector \(\vec{r}\) is perpendicular to the velocity vector \(\vec{v}\). - The acceleration vector \(\vec{a}\) is directed towards the origin and is anti-parallel to the position vector \(\vec{r}\). Thus, the correct statement is that the velocity is perpendicular to the position vector, and the acceleration is directed towards the origin. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the velocity vector is perpendicular to the position vector, and the acceleration vector is directed towards the origin. ---
