The y-component of the acceleration is $0.33 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The y-component of the acceleration is given by:

$a_y = \frac{v_y-u_y}{t}$

where

$v_y$ is the y-component of the final velocity

$u_y$ is the y-component of the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the ice skater in this problem, we have:

$u_y = u sin \theta_1 = (2.25 m/s)(sin 50.0^{\circ})=1.72 m/s$

where

u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta_1 = 50.0^{\circ}$ is the initial direction

$v_y = v sin \theta_2 = (4.65)(sin 120^{\circ})=4.03 m/s$ , where

v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity

$\theta_2 = 120.0^{\circ}$ is the final direction

The time elapsed is

t = 8.33 s

Therefore, we can find the y-component of the acceleration:

$a_y=\frac{4.03-1.72}{8.33}=0.33 m/s^2$
