Homework Statement


In picture attatched

Homework Equations


acceleration centripetal, acceleration perpendicular, velocity

The Attempt at a Solution


I found that i can project the acceleration onto the velocity and get theta = -135 degrees between acceleration and velocity vector. so the object is slowing down now how do i figure the acceleration components?
