$A$ point object moves along an arc of a circle of radius $R$. Its velocity depends upon the distance covered $s$ as $v=K \sqrt{s}$,where $K$ is a constant. If $\theta$ is the angle between the total acceleration and tangential acceleration,then

  • A
    $\tan \theta=\sqrt{\frac{s}{R}}$
  • B
    $\tan \theta=\sqrt{\frac{s}{2R}}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta=\frac{s}{2R}$
  • D
    $\tan \theta=\frac{2s}{R}$
