The hawk’s centripetal acceleration is 2.23 m/s²
The magnitude of the acceleration under new conditions is 2.316 m/s²
radius of the horizontal arc = 10.3 m
the initial constant speed = 4.8 m/s
we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by
=
= 23.04/10.3
= 2.23 m/s²
It continues to fly but now with some tangential acceleration
= 0.63 m/s²
therefore the net value of acceleration is given by the resultant of the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration
so
=
=
= 2.316 m/s²
So the magnitude of net acceleration will become 2.316 m/s².
