The figure shows the velocity and acceleration of a point like body at the initial moment of its motion. The acceleration vector of the body remains constant. The minimum radius of curvature of trajectory of the body is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The acceleration vector shall change the component of velocity
along the acceleration vector.

Radius of curvature
means
is minimum and
is maximum.
This is at point
when component of velocity parallel to acceleration vector becomes zero, that is
.
