A gerbil journeys outward from the center of a merry go round to the outer edge, walking along a radial line at an ever increasing speed of $v=5\mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{s}$ relative to the merry go round. The merry go round is rotating at a constant velocity of $w=2.0\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}$ counter clockwise. Find the magnitude of the gerbil's acceleration and speed when $t=5.5$ seconds.
