The figure shows the velocity and acceleration of a point like body at the initial moment of its motion. The acceleration vector of the body remains constant. The minimum radius of curvature of trajectory of the body is (in m upto two decimals.)

Solution

r=v2an
Radius of curvature rmin means v is minimum and an is maximum.
This is at point P when component of velocity parallel to acceleration vector becomes zero, that is uB=0.

R=u2a=422=8 meters.
