A boat travels around a circular path of radius r=40r = 40 m at a speed that increases with time, v=0.0625 t2v = 0.0625\,t^2 m/s (tt in s). The boat starts from rest (v=0v = 0 when t=0t = 0).

Find the magnitudes of the boat's velocity and acceleration at the instant t=10t = 10 s.

Formulas you may need
  • Normal-tangential components: a=v˙ ut+v2ρun\mathbf a = \dot v\,\mathbf u_t + \dfrac{v^2}{\rho}\mathbf u_n, a=at2+an2a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_n^2} (learn this)
