Calculating Speedboat's Turn Dynamics

[mattmannmf]

A speedboat with a length of 10.2m and a mass of 249 kg is negotiaging a circular turn (radius = 32 m) around a buoy. During the turn, the engine causes a net tangential force of magnitude 597 N to be applied to the boat. The intial speed of the boat going into the turn is 4 m/sec.
a) What is the tangential acceleration of the boat, 2 sec into the turn?

b) What is the tangential velocity of the boat, 2 sec into the turn?

c) What is the centripetal acceleration, 2 sec into the turn?

d) What is the total acceleration, 2 sec into the turn?

for a, Tan Accel= pi*angular acceleration. but i don't know really how to get started.

Maybe this will help?
