Acceleration in 2D
4. 2D Kinematics / Acceleration in 2D / Problem 1

At any time, t seconds,  a unique particle's location can be pinpointed by using variable coordinates. In the common plane (xy-plane), these are given by

x(t) = 0.5At m
y(t) = Bt2 + 5.5 m

where A = 6.3 m/s and B = -0.08 m/s2.

After half a minute, what is the magnitude and direction of this particle's acceleration and velocity?
