(a) The net acceleration of a particle in circular motion is always directed along the radius of the circle towards the centre (centripetal force), in the case of a circular uniform motion. Hence the statement is False.
(b) The centrifugal force direction is always along the tangent, hence the statement is True.
(c) In uniform circular motion, the direction of the acceleration vector points is always toward the centre of the circle. The average of these vectors over one cycle is a null vector. Hence the statement is True.

after 10 kicks,
v? = 3tî v? = 24cos 60°î + 24sin 60°? = 12î + 12√3?
v? = v? – v? = (12 – 3t)î + 12√3?
It is minimum when 12 - 3t = 0 ⇒ t = 4sec
ω = θ² + 2θ
α = (ωdω)/dθ = (θ² + 2θ) (2θ + 2)
At θ = 1rad.
ω = 3rad/s and α = 12rad/s²
a? = αR = 12 m/s² a? = ω²R = 9 m/s² A? = √ (a? ² + a? ²) = 15 m/s²
a? = v? ²/4r
a_A? = (v? ²/r²) × r = v? ²/r
a_A = 3v? ²/4r
