centripetal acceleration, directed towards the center, is v^2/r
2) the tangential acceleration is 1.52m/s^2, directed at 90 degrees to the center. Add the two accelerations as vectors.
1)A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 16 m at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s. Find its centripetal acceleration. Answer in units of m/s2.
2)It continues to fly along the same horizontal arc but increases its speed at the rate of 1.52 m/s2. Find the magnitude of acceleration under these new conditions. Answer in units of m/s2.
3)Find the direction of acceleration relative to the direction of motion under these conditions. Answer between −180◦ and 180◦. Answer in units of ◦.
