If the tangential acceleratin is positive of a body moving in horizontal circular motion. Will the centripital acceleration will be affected if both of them are perpendicular to each other?
If yes, how? It will increase or decrease?
Please explain in detail.

Answer:
The tangential acceleration increases the linear speed v of the rotation and as the centripetal acceleration is dependent on linear speed as v^2/R. So does the centripetal acceleration increases.
Simple way to understand this is the faster you rotate the stronger you have to pull in.
Which means increase in tangential acceleration increases centripetal acceleration and vice versa is also true.
