A sled is traveling down along a curve which can be approximated by the parabola y = quarter x2. When point B on the runner is coincident with point A on the curve (xA = 2m, yA = 1 m), the speed if B is measured as vB = 8 m/s and the increase in speed is dvB/dt = 4 m/s2. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of point B at this instant.

[A]. a = 8.94 m/s2
[B]. a = 12.00 m/s2
[C]. a = 16.10 m/s2
[D]. a = 8.16 m/s2
