Answer and Explanation:
Data provided as per the question is as follows
Speed at point A = 20 m/s
Acceleration at point C = [tex]5 m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]r_A = 25 m[/tex]
The calculation of the magnitude of the acceleration at A is shown below:-
Centripetal acceleration is
[tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
now we will put the values into the above formula
= [tex]\frac{20^2}{25}[/tex]
After solving the above equation we will get
[tex]= 16 m/s^2[/tex]
Tangential acceleration is
[tex]= \sqrt{ac^2 + at^2} \\\\ = \sqrt{16^2 + 5^2}\\\\ = 16.703 m/s^2[/tex]
