Correct answer: B
-
Interpret the given position and velocity
The object moves in a horizontal circle centered at the origin.
When it is at , on the circular path this means the point is
Its velocity there is given as
So at the rightmost point of the circle, the velocity is downward.
-
Find the radius and speed
Since the center is at the origin and the point is , the radius is
Speed is constant and equal to the magnitude of velocity:
-
Determine the direction of motion
At , the velocity is downward. That means the particle is moving clockwise.
-
Find the acceleration at to confirm circular motion
In uniform circular motion, acceleration is centripetal, i.e. toward the center.
At , toward the origin is in the direction.
Magnitude of centripetal acceleration:
So there,
-
Now find velocity and acceleration at
The point on the circle is
For clockwise motion, at the leftmost point the velocity is upward, so
-
Find acceleration at
Centripetal acceleration always points toward the center.
From toward the origin is in the direction.
Magnitude remains
Therefore,
-
Match with the options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is B.
