A particle is going with constant speed along a uniform helical and spiral path separately as shown in figure

AThe velocity of the particle is constant in both cases
BThe magnitude of acceleration of the particle is constant in both cases
CThe magnitude of accleration is constant in $(a)$ and decreasing in $(b)$
DThe magnitude of accleration is decreasing continuously in both the cases

Solution

${a_c}\, = \,\frac{{{v^2}}}{r},$ radius is constant in case $(a)$ and increase in case $(b).$ So that magnitude of acceleration is constant in case $(a)$ and decrease in case $(b).$
