Homework Statement



Here, I will just post the question as an image. Never mind the one where I have to sketch, but b and c I am having trouble with.

Printed physics problem 4 about a car turning from due south to due east, with parts (a) sketch and explain, (b) radial and tangential acceleration, and (c) radius of the turn.


How do you calculate the radial and tangential aspects of the cars acceleration? and from that info, how do I calculate the radius?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



The car is speeding up correct?
 
I am having trouble knowing how this sketch should look like?
