Position vector r = x i + y j in the x y plane.
force vector F = m a = m dv/dt = d P / d t
momentum vector P = m v
P = 2 cos t i + 2 Sin t j
F = - 2 sin t i + 2 Cos t j
Angle of vector P with x axis: Tan Ф1 = 2 Sin t / (2 Cos t) = Tan t
Angle of vector F with x axis : Tan Ф2 = 2 Cos t / (- 2 sin t) = - Cot t
= - tan (π/2 - t) = tan [π - (π/2 - t) ] = tan (π/2 + t) or tan (3π/2 - t)
Angle between P and F = Ф2 - Ф1
Tan (Ф₂ - Ф₁) = - [tan t + Cot t] / [ 1 - tan t * Cot t ]
= infinity
So angle Ф₂ - Ф₁ = π/2
The momentum and force vectors are perpendicular to each other.
This is the case of uniform circular motion. F is the centripetal force.
