Question No.1 Marks: 5

Find the tangential and normal components of the acceleration of a point describing the curve
y −2 x=1−2 y with uniform speed v when the particle is at (0 ,−1± √ 2).

For Uniform speed v tangential component of acceleration will be zero

aT= =0
dt
Now we go for normal components of the acceleration

Formula for normal components of the acceleration is here
