### Relative Motion Analysis (Cars)

#### Problem Statement:
At the instant shown, cars A and B are traveling at speeds of 55 mi/h and 40 mi/h, respectively. Car B is increasing its speed by 1200 mi/h², while car A maintains a constant speed. Car B moves along a curve having a radius of curvature of 0.5 mi.

#### Diagram:
The given diagram shows two cars, A and B. Car A is traveling at 55 mi/h along a straight path, while car B is traveling at 40 mi/h along a curved path with a radius of curvature of 0.5 mi. The angle between the direction of car B's motion and the x-axis is 30°.

### Part A:
Determine the magnitude of the velocity of \( B \) with respect to \( A \).
- Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

\[ v_{B/A} = \boxed{ \hspace{4cm} } \, \text{mi/h} \]

### Part B:
Determine the angle \( \theta_{B/A} \) of \( \mathbf{v}_{B/A} \) (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis).
- Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

\[ \theta_{B/A} = \boxed{ \hspace{4cm} } \, ^\circ \]

### Part C:
Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of \( B \) with respect to \( A \).
- Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

\[ a_{B/A} = \boxed{ \hspace{4cm} } \, \text{mi/h}^2 \]

### Part D:
Determine the angle \( \phi_{B/A} \) of \( \mathbf{a}_{B/A} \) (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis).
- Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

\[ \phi_{B/A} = \boxed{ \hspace{4cm} } \, ^\circ \]

### Explanation of the Diagram:
- Car A is shown traveling on a linear path at 55 mi/h.
- Car B is traveling on a curved path at 40 mi/h, with an increase in speed of 1200 mi/h².
- The curve along which car B is traveling has a radius of curvature
