A particle moving in the x-y plane has a velocity at time t = 5.25 s given by (3.9i+ 6.0j) m/s, and at t = 5.34 s its velocity has become (4.05i + 6.13j) m/s. Calculate the magnitude a of its average acceleration during the 0.09-s interval and the angle it makes with the x- axis. Answers: i m/s² a= e- i

### Problem Description

A particle moving in the x-y plane has a velocity at time \( t = 5.25 \, \text{s} \) given by \( (3.9\mathbf{i} + 6.0\mathbf{j}) \, \text{m/s} \), and at \( t = 5.34 \, \text{s} \) its velocity has become \( (4.05\mathbf{i} + 6.13\mathbf{j}) \, \text{m/s} \). Calculate the magnitude \( a \) of its average acceleration during the 0.09-s interval and the angle \( \theta \) it makes with the x-axis.

### Answers:
\[ 
a = \, \boxed{} \, \text{m/s}^2 
\]

\[ 
\theta = \, \boxed{} \, ^\circ 
\]

This problem involves determining the average acceleration of a particle given its velocity at two different points in time. The necessary steps involve using the change in velocity over time to find the average acceleration vector and then calculating its magnitude and direction.
