Step-by-step explanation
\begin{aligned} & \left|\vec{a}_c\right|=\left|\vec{a}_t\right| \\ & \frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{d v}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \int_\limits4^v \frac{d v}{v^2}=\int_\limits0^t \frac{d t}{r} \\ & \Rightarrow\left[\frac{-1}{v}\right]_4^v=\frac{t}{r} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{v}+\frac{1}{4}=2 t \end{aligned}
