A 220-kg speedboat is negotiating a circular turn (radius = 32 m) around a buoy. During the turn, the engine causes a net tangential force of magnitude 550 N to be applied to the boat. The initial tangential speed of the boat going into the turn is 5.0 m/s.
(a) Find the tangential acceleration.
(b) After the boat is 2.0 s into the turn, find the centripetal acceleration.
