a particle is moving on a circular path of radius 1 m with 2m/s. If speed starts increasing at a rate of 2m/s^2 then the acceleration of particle is?

Dear student,

The acceleration has two components tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration.
Tangential acceleration at=2m/s2
Centripetal acceleration ar=v2r=221=4m/s2
Total acceleration is a=22+42=4.47m/s2

Regards.
