$0,1$

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, $r'(t)=-\sin t i+\cos t j+k$ and $r''(t)=-\cos ti-\sin tj$ $|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-\sin t)^2+(\cos t)^+1^2}=\sqrt{2}$ $r'(t) \cdot r''(t)=[1i+(2t-2)j] \cdot [2j]=\sin t \cos t-\sin t \cos t$ and $r'(t) \times r''(t)=[-\sin t i+\cos t j+k] \times [-\cos ti-\sin tj]=\sin t i-\cos tj+k$ From equation (1), we have $a_T=\dfrac{r'(t) \cdot r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}=\dfrac{\sin t \cos t-\sin t \cos t}{\sqrt{2}}=0$ From equation (2), we have $a_N=\dfrac{r'(t) \times r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}=\dfrac{\sin t i-\cos tj+k}{\sqrt{2}}=1$
