4. Some vector problems may be more easily solved without writing the vectors in component form. Consider the following problem. A particle moves at constant speed in a circle having a radius R. (a) Prove that the displacement vector r is perpendicular to the velocity vector v. (b) Prove that the velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector a. (c) Prove that the magnitude of the acceleration is given by a = and that a is antiparallel to r. (d) Is it possible for a particle to move in a circle at constant velocity? v2 R
