Solution

The correct option is B
Perpendicular to the position vector

$\to r = (a c o s ω t)^i + (a s i n ω t)^j$
$\to v = \frac{\to d r}{d t} = - a ω s i n ω t^i + a ω c o s ω t^j$
As $\to r . \to v = 0$ therefore velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the position vector.

The position vector of a particle is →r=(a cos ωt)^i+(a sin ωt)^j. The velocity of the particle is

The correct option is B Perpendicular to the position vector →r=(a cos ωt)^i+(a sin ωt)^j →v=→drdt=−aω sin ωt^i+aω cos ωt^j As →r.→v=0 therefore velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the position vector.

The correct option is B
Perpendicular to the position vector

$\to r = (a c o s ω t)^i + (a s i n ω t)^j$
$\to v = \frac{\to d r}{d t} = - a ω s i n ω t^i + a ω c o s ω t^j$
As $\to r . \to v = 0$ therefore velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the position vector.
