The figure below shows a particle initially at point A traveling in the +x-direction. It turns in a circular path at constant speed until it is traveling in the +y-direction at point C. The quarter-circle arc from A to C is 207 m in length, and the particle moves from A to C in 35.0 s. Point B on the path is 35.0° below the x-axis. 0 35.0° magnitude direction C (a) What is the speed of the particle (in m/s)? m/s (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration when the particle is at point B? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2 and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) m/s2 counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Question
### Educational Exercise: Circular Motion Analysis

The image depicts a scenario where a particle starts at point \( A \), initially traveling in the \( +x \)-direction. It transitions into a circular path at a constant speed until it travels in the \( +y \)-direction at point \( C \). The details are as follows:

- The path from \( A \) to \( C \) is a quarter-circle arc with a length of 207 meters.
- The movement from \( A \) to \( C \) takes 35.0 seconds.
- Point \( B \) on the path is 35.0° below the \( x \)-axis.
  
#### Diagram Explanation:

- The coordinate system has the \( x \)-axis horizontally and the \( y \)-axis vertically.
- The quarter-circle path from \( A \) to \( C \) forms part of a larger circular path.
- The center of the circle is marked, and angles are indicated with the direction at \( B \).

#### Questions:

(a) **What is the speed of the particle (in m/s)?**

- Answer box provided for speed in m/s.

(b) **What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration when the particle is at point \( B \)?**

- Magnitude box in m/s².
- Direction box requires degrees counterclockwise from the \( +x \)-axis.
