3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
particle is moving in a circular path. The acceleration and momentum of the particle at a certain moment are $\vec a\, = \,(4\hat i + 3\hat j)\,\,m/{s^2}$ and $\vec P\, = \,(8\hat i\, - \,6\hat j)\,kg\, - \,m/s$ . The motion of the particle is
AUniform circular motion
Baccelerated circular motion
Cdecelerated circular motion
DWe cannot say anything with $\vec a$ and $\vec p$ only
Solution
Angle between acceleration and momentum is less than $90^o$. So acceleration has two component one is $ \bot $ ar to momentum (centripetal) and another is parallel to momentum (tangential) which increases speed.
