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 u || along the acceleration
vector. r = 
Radius of curvature r min means v is minimum and a n is maximum. This is at point P when component of
velocity parallel to acceleration vector becomes zero, that is u || = 0.
u || = 0
R = 
= 
= 8 meter.
