Question
A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity vi =
(4.00 î + 1.00 Î) m/s at a point in the ocean where the
position relative to a certain rock is = (14.0 î - 2.60 ĵ) m.
%3D
After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 19.0
s, its velocity is = (15.0 î – 1.00 ĵ) m/s.
(a) What are the components of the acceleration of
the fish?
a =
m/s2
ay
m/s2
(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 = 26.0 s?
X =
y =
In what direction is it moving?
counterclockwise from the +x-axis
