**Title:** Calculation of Particle Acceleration in Polar Coordinates

**Description:**

A particle follows a path along which the radial position is given by the equation:

\[ r = (0.2 + 0.15 \cos \theta) \, \text{m} \]

The task is to calculate the magnitude of the particle's acceleration given the following conditions:

- The angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \)
- The angular velocity \( \dot{\theta} = 0.7 \, \text{rad/sec} \)
- The angular acceleration \( \ddot{\theta} = 0.5 \, \text{rad/sec}^2 \)

**Objective:**

To determine the particle's acceleration in meters per second squared (\( \text{m/s}^2 \)) under the specified conditions. 

**Instructions:**

1. Use the provided radial and angular values.
2. Apply the relevant equations for polar coordinates to find the acceleration.
3. Ensure to express the final result in \( \text{m/s}^2 \).

**Note:** Diagrams or graphs are not present in the given text.
