can you figure it out through explanation??

 angular acceleration is axial, into the plane of paper if clockwise, out of the plane of paper if anticlockwise

centripetal acceleration is radial, towards the center

tangential acceleration is tangential, along the tangent drawn from the particle

at an instant, three are mutually perpendicular...i think it is clear..
