Questions  

A particle moves so that its position vector is given by r=cosωtx+sinωty^, where ω is a constant which of the following is true?

a
Velocity is perpendicular to r→ and acceleration is directed away from the origin.
b
Velocity and acceleration both are perpendicular to r→
c
Velocity and acceleration both are parallel to r→
d
Velocity is perpendicular to r→ and acceleration is directed towards the origin.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

r→ = cosωt x^+ sinωt y^v→ = −ωsinωt x^+ ωcosωt y^a→ = −ω2cosωt x^+ ωsinωt y^ = −ω2r→r→.v→ = 0  hence  r→ ⊥ v→ a→ is directed towards the origin.
