My attempt is also attached. Basically, I think I have (a) down. The only issue is I am getting the wrong answer, and I was hoping one of you could let me know if the answer key is wrong or the way I did it was wrong? The answer is 1.823m/s^2. Also, for the second part, I am really not sure where to go from here. If someone could get any advice that'd be awesome. (Also, the answer to (b) is 1.782m/S^2.
