linear velocity of particle in a circle , v = 2i m/s

acceleration of particle in the circle, a = (2i + 4j) m/s²

concept : in circular motion, acceleration of particle should be perpendicular to its velocity.

it is possible when we take vertical component of acceleration i.e., (4j)

[ because we know, unit vector, i is perpendicular upon j. so, 2i will perpendicular upon 4j]

so, |a| = 4, |v| = 2

now, radius of circle, r = |v|²/|a|

= 2²/4 = 4/4 = 1m

hence, radius of circle is 1m
