Solution

The correct option is(D)

Given,

Position vector R=4sin(2πt)i+4cos(2πt)j

For finding the velocity vector we have to differentiate it with respect to the time

So,

dRdt=v=8πcos(2πt)i8πsin(2πt)j

For finding the acceleration we have to differentiate the velocity with respect to the time

So,

dvdt=a=4(2π)2sin(2π)i4(2π)2cos(2πt)j=(2π)2R

So we can say that the acceleration is in the direction of R

Now we have to find the magnitude of the velocity

Magnitude of the velocity = (8πcos(2πt))2(8πsin(2πt))2

After solving this we get

The magnitude of the velocity = 8π

Now,

Magnitude of the acceleration = (2π)2R=16π2=(8π)24=v2R

Hence from all the above findings, we can say that the only option (D) is wrong
