A particle moves outward along a spiral. Its trajectory is given by r = A0, where A is a constant. A = (1/) m/rad. 0 increases in time according to 0 = xt²/2, where x is a constant. (a) Sketch the motion, and indicate the approximate velocity and acceleration at a few points. (b) Show that the radial acceleration is zero when 0 = 1/ √2 rad. (c) At what angles do the radial and tangential accelerations have equal magnitude?
