At a given instant in an airplane race, airplane A is flying horizontally in a straight line at a speed of 460k(m)/(h), and its
speed is being increased at the rate of 8(m)/(s^(2)). Airplane B is flying at the same altitude as airplane A and, as it rounds a
pylon, is following a circular path of 300-m radius. At the given instant, the speed of B is being decreased at the rate of 3
(m)/(s^(2)). Consider v_(B)=540k(m)/(h).
Determine the acceleration of B relative to A.
The acceleration of B relative to A is
(m)/(s^(2))
