Acceleration is defined as: The rate of change of the velocity of an object over time. Explain the three ways you can accelerate a golf cart? Be sure to include in your explanation how each of the ways relates to the provided definition.

The particle p starts from rest at point a at time t = 0 and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of 2.8g as it follows the horizontal path shown. determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before point b, (b) just after point b, and (c) as it passes point c. state your directions relative to the x-axis shown (ccw positive) and choose the angle with the smallest magnitude.
