Question
What is the angle between linear acceleration and angular acceleration of a particle in nonuniform circular motion?

Answer

In a nonu niform circular motion, the angular acceleration is an axial vector, perpendicular to the plane of the motion. The linear acceleration is in the plane of the motion. Hence, the angle between them is $90^{\circ}$.
