A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity v= (4.00i - 1.00j) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is r= (10.00i - 4.00j) m/s. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20.0 s, its velocity is v= (20.0i - 5.00j) m/s (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to the vector i ? (c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t=25.0 s and in what direction is it moving?
