Diagram shows the direction of the total acceleration and velocity of a particle moving clockwise in a circle of radius 5/√3 m at an instant of time. Tangential acceleration at this instant is 5 m/s2. Which of the following statements is not correct?
The particle is slowing down
since tangential acceleration and v are in same direction, so particle should be speeding up.
tan 30∘=atac
⇒1√3=5ac⇒
ac=5√3m/s2
Net acceleration
a=√a2c+a2t=√(5√3)2+52=10m/s2
