Solution

The correct option is C

both centripetal as well as angular acceleration


For a particle moving in circle experiences both angular acceleration (also known as tangential acceleration) and centripetal acceleration. The vector sum of these two accelerations gives us total acceleration. It is written as,

atotal = ac2+at2
