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

Answer

${a_c}\, = \,\frac{{{v^2}}}{r},$ 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 $(b).$
