For circular motion,if $\vec a_t$,$\vec a_c$,$\vec r$ and $\vec v$ are tangential acceleration,centripetal acceleration,radius vector and velocity respectively,then find the wrong relation.

The velocity and acceleration vectors of a particle undergoing circular motion are $\overrightarrow{v} = 2 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $\overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2$ respectively at an instant of time. The radius of the circle is $........ \text{ m}$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ describes a circle of radius $r$. The centripetal acceleration of the particle is $4/r^2$. What will be the momentum of the particle?

$A$ 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:

$A$ body is moving along a circular track of radius $100 \ m$ with velocity $20 \ m/s$. Its tangential acceleration is $3 \ m/s^{2}$,then its resultant acceleration will be (in $m/s^{2}$)
