TopicCircular Motion 1

6 A particle, of mass 5 kg , moves on a circular path so that at time \(t\) seconds it has position vector \(\mathbf { r }\) metres, where $$\mathbf { r } = ( 2 \sin 3 t ) \mathbf { i } + ( 2 \cos 3 t ) \mathbf { j }$$ 6
  1. Prove that the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to its position vector.
