Question

For a particle in uniform circular motion , the acceleration ` vec(a)` at a point ` p ( R, theta )` on the circle of radiu ` R` is ( Here ` theta` is measured from the ` x- axis` )
A. `(v^(2))/(R)hati+(v^(2))/(R)jhat`
B. `-(v^(2))/(R)cos thetahati+(v^(2))/(R)sin thetajhat`
C. `-(v^(2))/(R)sin thetahati+(v^(2))/(R)cos thetajhat`
D. `-(v^(2))/(R)cos thetahati-(v^(2))/(R)sin thetajhat`
