4-12.A car is travelling along a winding highway at a constant speed of 82 km/h. At 3:00 p.m., the car is heading 38.2° east of north, and at 3:15 p.m. it is heading 12.7° south of east. Define the +x and +y directions to be east and north, respectively. Use Eq. 4-8 to determine the x- and y-components of the average acceleration during this time interval.
