A pin is forced to move along a parabola shaped guide by a connected collar that moves along the x-axis only, as shown in the figure. y 5 m- VA, a 2 m X When x = 1.4 m the velocity and acceleration of the collar are: vx = -2.3 m/s and ax = 2.7 m/s² respectively. The parabolic guide is described by y = -1.25 x² +5.x, where both x and y are in units of metres. What is the y-component of velocity, vy at this instant? What is the magnitude of the acceleration la at this instant? What is the normal component of the acceleration, an at this instant?
