Answer:

5 m/s2

Explanation:

The total acceleration of the circular motion is made of 2 components: centripetal acceleration and linear acceleration of 4 m/s2. They are perpendicular to each other.

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of instant velocity squared and the radius of the circle

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{30^2}{300} = \frac{900}{300} = 3 m/s^2

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_l^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 m/s^2

Answer:

Geometrical optics, or ray optics, describes the propagation of light in terms of "rays" which travel in straight lines, and whose paths are governed by the laws of reflection and refraction at interfaces between different media.
