MCQ
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
  • A
    Uniform circular motion
  • accelerated circular motion
  • C
    decelerated circular motion
  • D
    We cannot say anything with $\vec a$ and $\vec p$ only

Answer

Correct option: B.
accelerated circular motion
b
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.
