For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration \(\bar{a}\) at a point P (\(R, \theta\)) on the circle of radius R is
  1. \(\frac{v^{2}}{R} \hat{i}+\frac{v^{2}}{R} \hat{j}\)
  2. \(\frac{v^{2}}{R} \hat{i}+\frac{v^{2}}{R} \hat{j}\)
  3. \(-\frac{v^{2}}{R} \sin \theta \hat{i}+\frac{v^{2}}{R} \cos \theta \hat{j}\)
  4. \(-\frac{v^{2}}{R} \cos \theta \hat{i}-\frac{v^{2}}{R} \sin \theta \hat{j}\)

Answer

(D) - v^ 2 R i - v^ 2 R j
