Question
A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 + 1.00 ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is i = (16.0i -2.40j) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 15.0 s, its velocity is = (25.0i -3.0j ) m/s.
(a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish?
ax =
m/s2
ay =
Review the definition of average acceleration and remember that each component is treated separately. m/s2
(b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector ?
Explanation / Answer
A) ax = (25-4) / 15 = 1.4 m/s^2
ay = (-3 - 1) / 15 = - 0.27 m/s^2
B) angle = - 10.91 degree
C) displacement = ut + 1/2 a t^2
disp in x = 660.8 m
disp in y = -77.84
so position w.r.t. rock = ( 676.8 i , -80.24 j )
