Answer

$6t,6$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate the tangential acceleration component is: $a_T=\dfrac{r'(t) \cdot r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ ....(1) and Formula to calculate the normal acceleration component is: $a_N=\dfrac{r'(t) \times r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ ....(2) Thus, $r'(t)=(3-3t^2)i+6tj$ and $r''(t)=-6ti+6j$ $|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(3-3t^2)^2+(6t)^2}=3(t^2+1)$ $r'(t) \cdot r''(t)=[(3-3t^2)i+6tj] \cdot [-6ti+6j]=18t(1+t^2)$ and $r'(t) \times r''(t)=18(1+t^2)$ From equation (1), we have $a_T=\dfrac{r'(t) \cdot r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}=\dfrac{18t(1+t^2)}{3(t^2+1)}=6t$ From equation (2), we have $a_N=\dfrac{r'(t) \times r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}=\dfrac{18(1+t^2)}{3(t^2+1)}=6$
