fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity vi (4.00i +1.00j) m/s at a point in the ocean whose displacement from a certain rock is ri(10.0i - 4.00j) m. 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? (b) What is the direction of the acceleration with respect to the unit vector i? (c) Where is the fish at t = 25.0 s if it maintains its original acceleration and in what direction is it moving?

Question

A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity
vi (4.00i +1.00j) m/s at a point in the ocean whose displacement from a certain rock is ri(10.0i - 4.00j) m. 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? (b) What is the direction of the acceleration with respect to the unit vector i? (c) Where is the fish at t = 25.0 s if it maintains its original acceleration and in what direction is it moving?
