Find the magnitude of the birds acceleration

Reference no: EM13541493

It is common to see birds of prey rising upward on thermals. The paths they take may be spiral-like. You can model the spiral motion as uniform circular motion combined with a constant upward velocity. Assume a bird completes a circle of radius 6.00m every 5.00s and rises vertically at a rate of 3.00m/s.

1. Find the magnitude of the bird's acceleration.
2. Find the direction of the bird's acceleration.
