Problem

A particle moves such that its position vector r⃗(t)=cos⁡ωti^+sin⁡ωtj^\vec{r}(t) = \cos \omega t \hat{i} + \sin \omega t \hat{j} where ω\omega is a constant and tt is time. Then which of the following statements is true for the velocity v⃗(t)\vec{v}(t) and acceleration a⃗(t)\vec{a}(t) of the particle: a. v⃗\vec{v} is perpendicular to r⃗\vec{r} and a⃗\vec{a} is directed away from the origin b. v⃗\vec{v} and a⃗\vec{a} both are perpendicular to r⃗\vec{r} c. v⃗\vec{v} and a⃗\vec{a} both are parallel to r⃗\vec{r} d. v⃗\vec{v} is perpendicular to r⃗\vec{r} and a⃗\vec{a} is directed towards the origin
