Question

You can use the formula for centripetal acceleration OR You have to calculate the average acceleration directly from the definition, a = delta v / delta t.  You have to first get a_x by using the velocity's initial and final x components, do a_y from the y components, and then use the Pythagorean formula to get the magnitude of the acceleration vector.
