JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 3.2 motion in plane

A particle moves such that its position vector \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{t})=\cos \omega \mathrm{t} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\sin \omega \mathrm{t} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\) where \(\omega\) is a constant and \(t\) is time. Then which of the following statements is true for the velocity \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}(\mathrm{t})\) and acceleration \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}(\mathrm{t})\) of the particle

  1. A \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) is directed towards the origin
  2. B \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) both are parallel to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\)
  3. C \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) both are perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\)
  4. D \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) is directed away from the origin
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) is directed towards the origin

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{t})=\cos \omega \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\sin \omega \mathrm{t} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\) On diff. we get \({\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=-\omega \sin \omega \mathrm{t} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\omega \cos \omega \mathrm{t} \hat{\mathrm{j}}}\)…
