A particle moves over three quarters of a circle of radius $r$ in time $t$. What is the velocity of the particle?


As given, a particle moves over three quarters of a circle of radius $r$.



The motion of the particle has been shown in the diagram below:



 $AB$ is the displacement,



To find $AB$, let us use Pythagoras theorem in $\vartriangle AOB$



$AB^2=OA^2+OB^2$



Or $AB^2=r^2+r^2$



Or $AB^2=2r^2$



Or $AB=\sqrt{2r^2}$



Or $AB=r\sqrt{2}$


Now, the velocity of the particle $=\frac{displacement}{time}$

$=\frac{r\sqrt{2}}{t}$
