A rabbit is moving in the negative x-direction at 1.50 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 12.7 m/s along the positive y-axis, all in 1.80 s. Determine the x-component and the y-component of the rabbit's acceleration. (Enter your answers in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.)
