The diagram above shows a yellow car going around a level circular track (shown from above). The track has a radius of \( 62.1 \) meters. The car is moving at constant speed of \( 24 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \) in a counterclockwise direction (as seen from above). At the time shown, the car is located at an angle of \( \theta=38.7 \) degrees counterclockwise from the \( x \)-axis. Find the \( y \)-component of the acceleration of the car (in units of meters per second squared) at this time. The sign of your answer, positive or negative, is important.
