$0,1$

Work Step by Step

Tangential acceleration component can be calculated as: $a_T=\dfrac{r'(t) \cdot r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ Normal acceleration component can be calculated as: $a_N=\dfrac{r'(t) \times r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ From the question $r'(t)=-\sin t i+\cos t j+k$ and $r''(t)=-\cos ti-\sin tj$ This yields, $|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-\sin t)^2+(\cos t)^+1^2}=\sqrt{2}$ and $r'(t) \cdot r''(t)=[1i+(2t-2)j] \cdot [2j]=\sin t \cos t-\sin t \cos t$ Also, $r'(t) \times r''(t)=[-\sin t i+\cos t j+k] \times [-\cos ti-\sin tj]=\sin t i-\cos tj+k$ Find the values. $a_T=\dfrac{r'(t) \cdot r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ or, $=\dfrac{\sin t \cos t-\sin t \cos t}{\sqrt{2}}$ or, $=0$ Now, $a_N=\dfrac{r'(t) \times r''(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ or, $=\dfrac{\sin t i-\cos tj+k}{\sqrt{2}}$ or, $=1$
