Question: 4 . Supposee that a racecar driver is testing a car on a racetrack and his team is monitoring the car's speed at two points

4. Supposee that a racecar driver is testing a car on a racetrack and his team is monitoring the car's speed at two points \( P \) and \( Q \) on the road. Point \( P \) is in the middle of a straight section of the track, while point \( Q \) is on a curved portion of the track. The team records the following information concerning two different laps around the track. First Lap - speed at \( P=160\mathrm{mph}\), speed increasing at \( P \) at rate of \(10\mathrm{mph}/\mathrm{sec}\)- speed at \( Q=100\mathrm{mph}\), speed decreasing at \( Q \) at rate of \(5\mathrm{mph}/\mathrm{sec}\) Second Lap - speed at \( P=200\mathrm{mph}\), speed increasing at \( P \) at rate of \(5\mathrm{mph}/\mathrm{sec}\)- speed at \( Q=50\mathrm{mph}\), speed increasing at \( Q \) at rate of \(8\mathrm{mph}/\mathrm{sec}\)(i) Going from the first lap to the second lap, did the absolute value of the tangential component of acceleration at point \( P \) increase, decrease, or stay the same. If it changed, what was the percent change? (ii) Going from the first lap to the second lap, did the normal component of acceleration at point \( P \) increase, decrease, or stay the same. If it changed, what was the percent change? (iii) Going from the first lap to the second lap, did the absolute value of the tangential component of acceleration at point \( Q \) increase, decrease, or stay the same. If it changed, what was the percent change? (iv) Going from the first lap to the second lap, did the normal component of acceleration at point \( P \) increase, decrease, or stay the same. If it changed, what was the percent change? (v) Deteremine the value \(\kappa \) of the curvature at point \( Q \) such that \(\|\vec{a}\|\) is unchanged going from the first lap to the second lap.
