Questions  

The position vector of a particle R as a function of time is given by 

R=4sin(2πt)i^+4cos(2πt)j^

Where R is in meters, t is in seconds and i^ and j^ denote unit vectors along x-and y-directions, respectively. Which one of the following statements is wrong for the motion of particle?

 

a
Magnitude of the velocity of particle is 8 meter/second.
b
Path of the particle is a circle of radius } 4 \text { meter.
c
Acceleration vector is along -R→ .
d
Magnitude of acceleration vector is v2R, where v is the velocity of particle.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Here, R→=4sin(2πt)i^+4cos(2πt)j^The velocity of the particle isv→=dR→dt=ddt[4sin(2πt)i^+4cos(2πt)j^]=8πcos(2πt)i^-8πsin(2πt)j^its magnitude is|v→|=(8πcos(2πt))2+(-8πsin(2πt))2=64π2cos2(2πt)+64π2sin2(2πt)=64π2cos2(2πt)+sin2(2πt)=64π2                                        as sin2θ+cos2θ=1=8πm/s
