The position vector of a particle changes with time according to the relation $\vec{r}(t) = 15t^2 \hat{i} + (4 - 20t^2) \hat{j}$. What is the magnitude of the acceleration at $t = 1 \ s$?

$A$ particle starts from the origin at $t=0$ with a velocity of $10 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and moves in the $x-y$ plane with a constant acceleration of $(8 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$. At an instant when the $x$-coordinate of the particle is $16 \text{ m}$, the $y$-coordinate of the particle is: (in $\text{ m}$)
