Question

Radar station at O is tracking the meteor P as it moves through the atmosphere. At the instant shown, the station measures the following data for the motion of the meteor: r=21000ft, theta=40degrees, r dot (or velocity)=-22400ft/s, theta dot=-2.935rad/s, r double dot (or acc.)=187,500ft/s^2, and theta double dot=-5.409rad/s^2. Determine the magnitude and direction (relative to the xy coordinate system shown) of the acceleration vector at this instant. ---Please actually answer the question asked and show ALL steps. Thank you. Will rate high if right.
