Cars A and B are traveling in a section of a highway. Car B with a velocity of 20 m/s, and an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2 is behind Car A. Car A is rounding a curved section of the highway with a radius of 100 m at a rate of 12 m/s. Determine the velocity and acceleration which Car A appears to have if Car A accelerates round the curve at a rate of 5.3 m/s2.
