Position of particle as a function of time is given as 
, where 
is constant. Choose correct statement about 
and 
where 
and 
are the velocity and acceleration of the particle at time 
.
A
and 
are perpendicular to 
B
is parallel to 
and 
parallel to 
C
is perpendicular to 
and 
is away from the origin D
is perpendicular to 
and 
is towards the origin
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Since there is negative sign in acceleration, this means that acceleration is in opposite direction of 
For velocity direction we can take dot product of 
and 
.
which implies that 
is perpendicular to 
.
