Detailed Solution
Given, r→=cosωt x^+sinωt y^∴v→=dr→dt=-ωsinωt x^+ωcosωt y^a→=dv→dt=-ω2cosωt x^-ω2sinωt y^=-ω2r→ Since position vector (r→) is directed away from the origin, so, acceleration -ω2r→ is directed towards the origin. also,⇒r→⊥v→r→·v→=(cosωtx^+sinωty^)·(-ωsinωtx^+ωcosωty^)=-ωsinωtcosωt+ωsinωtcosωt=0
