A parficle moves so that its position vector is given by `vecr=cos omega t hatx+sin omega haty`, where `omega` is a constant. Which of the following is true?

A

Velocity is perpendicular to `vecr` and acceleration is directed towards the origin.

B

Velocity is perpendicular to `vecr` and acceleration is directed away from the origon.

C

Velocity and acceleration both are perpendicular to `vecr`.

D

Velocith and acceleration both are parallel to `vecr`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`veccv=-2omega sin omega t hatx+omega cos omega t haty, veca=-omega^(2)vecr`
Since option vector `(vecr)` is directed away from the origin so acceleration(`-omega^(2)vecr)` is directed towards the origin. Also `vecr.vecc=0impliesvecr_|_vecv`
