$A$ cyclist is riding with a speed of $36 \,km/h$. As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius $50 \,m$, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of $0.5 \,m/s^2$. The magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn are respectively:

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \,m/s^2, \tan^{-1}(4)$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \,m/s^2, \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
  • C
    $\sqrt{17} \,m/s^2, \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} \,m/s^2, \tan^{-1}(4)$
