transverse components Of The components of the velocity of a particle P along and perpendicular to the radius vector from a fixed origin O are Ar and u02 where 1 and u are positive constants. (a) Find r, 0, dr do and hence obtain the polar equation of the path of the particle. (b) Find the radial and transverse components of the acceleration in terms of r and 0 only (not involving their derivatives). 8 :. such a way th
