It's just 90 degrees in anticlockwise direction of radial part for this picture? [PS: In case you misunderstood-- Here in this figure, there is no tangential velocity or acceleration shown. Instantaneous velocity is shown which is the vector sum of tangential velocity and radial velocity. I would suggest you to re-read Velocity in Polar Coordinates from the same book.] | |
