Homework Statement
I've attached the question.
Homework Equations
normal acceleration=(v^2)/r where radius i think is going to be 3-1.2=1.8?
|a|= sqrt(a_t^2 + a_n^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
the equation given x^2/9 + y^2/16 = 1 is distance i believe, so when you differentiate it v=2x/9 + y/8 = 0, and differentiate again would mean a=2/9+1/8=25/72. And these three equations are tangential.
not sure what to do from here...
