A particle moves such that its position vector r → t = cos ⁡ ω t i ^ + sin ⁡ ω t…

A particle moves such that its position vector rt=cosωti^+sinωtj^ where ω is a constant and t is time. Then which of the following statements is true for the velocity vt and acceleration at of the particle:
  1. v is perpendicular to r and a is directed away from the origin
  2. v and a both are perpendicular to r
  3. v and a both are parallel to r
  4. v is perpendicular to r and a is directed towards the origin

Solution

r=cosωti^+sinωtj^
v=drdt=ω-sinωti^+cosωtj^
a=dvdt=-ω2cosωti^+sinωtj^
a=-ω2ra is antiparallel to r
v.r=ω-sinωtcosωt+cosωtsinωt=0
So vr
