A bicyclist finds that she descends the slope 1 = 3 at a certain constant speed

Question:

A bicyclist finds that she descends the slope θ1 = 3° at a certain constant speed with no braking or pedaling required. The slope changes fairly abruptly to θ2 at point A. If the bicyclist takes no action but continues to coast, determine the acceleration a of the bike just after it passes point A for the conditions (a) θ2 = 5° and (b) θ2 = 0.
