Question
A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity v = (4.00 î + 1.00 j) m/s
at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is i =
(12.0 î - 3.80 j) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 15.0 s,
its velocity is v = (17.0 î – 6.00 ĵ) m/s.
(a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish?
m/s2
|m/s?
(b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector î?
° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
(c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 30.0 s?
m
In what direction is it moving?
° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
