The position vector of a particle is given as r^> = (t^2-4t+6)i^ + (t^2)j^. What is the time after which the velocity vector and acceleration vector becomes perpendicular to each other?

r=t2-4t+6i + t2jvelocity = drdt= 2t-4i + 2tjacceleration = dvdt=2i + 2ja.v = 2t-4i + 2tj.2i + 2jwhen they are pependicular then a.v = 02t-4i + 2tj.2i + 2j = 02t-4×2 + 4t =04t -8+4t = 0t= 1s
