3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration $\vec a$ at a point $P(R,\theta)$ on the circle of radius $R$ is (Here $\theta$ is measured from the $x-$ axis)
A$\frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\widehat i + \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\widehat j$
B$ - \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \widehat i + \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \widehat j$
C$ - \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \widehat i + \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \widehat j$
D$ - \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \widehat i - \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \widehat j$
(AIEEE-2010) (JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution

Clearly\,\vec a = {a_c}\cos \theta \left( { – \hat i} \right) + {a_c}\sin \theta \left( { – \hat j} \right)\\
= \frac{{ – {v^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \hat i – \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \hat j
\end{array}$
