A car with a mass 900 kg travels uphill on a path that is described by the equation y =25-x2/25 y and x are measured in meters. The car passes

point A (x= 25 m) with a speed v =10.0 m/s which is increasing at a constant rate of at 5.0 m/s. At this instant, determine: a) The direction of the tangential component of the acceleration Za;, (positive angle indegrees measured counterclockwise from positive x coordinate). b) The radius of curvature at this point p (in meters). c) The normal component of the acceleration an. Und) The direction of the normal component of the acceleration Zan, (positive angle indegrees measured counterclockwise from positive x coordinate). e) The x component of the total acceleration a,. f) The y component of the total acceleration ay. g) Optional: In the figure below, show the directions of a, and an.
