Solution

The angular acceleration of a particle moving with constant angular velocity.
This is also known as centripetal acceleration.
Consider an object moving in a circle of radius r with constant velocity.
The acceleration is directed radially towards the centre pf the circle and has a centripetal acceleration property of the motion of a body traversing a circular path.
This acceleration is called the centripetal acceleration.

Two particle A and B move on a circle. Initially Particle A and B are diagonally opposite to each other. Particle A moves with angular velocity $π \frac{r a d}{s e c}$ , angular acceleration $\frac{π}{2} \frac{r a d}{s e c^{2}}$ and particle B moves with constant angular velocity $2 π \frac{r a d}{s e c}$ . Find the time after which both the particle A and B will collide.
