Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components
The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components
So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, and
:
The acceleration vector then has direction where
since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle
so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle
also we know that
so the coordinates of the center will be
so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)
