A cat toy is dragged such that it follows a curve defined by y = 0.4x3 + 0.1x. At the instant x = 1 m, it has a velocity of 1.5 m/s and its speed is increasing at a rate of 0.5 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the toy's acceleration at this position and sketch the resultant acceleration vector and its component directions.
