Velocity and acceleration on a running track

[mwhowell]

Homework Statement

A runner runs with a constant speed around the track.

1. At which point is the runner's velocity the largest? Explain.
2. At which point is the runner's acceleration the largest? Explain

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

It seems to me that the runner would have the greatest velocity and acceleration at point B because he/she is covering the most area in the x and y planes in with every stride due to the bend in the track but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone tell me if that is correct and if not explain to me how to find the correct answer?

Maybe there's a picture you should include?
