A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 î + 1.00 ĵ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is i = (12.0 î − 2.60 ĵ) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 15.0 s, its velocity is = (25.0 î − 1.00 ĵ) m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? ax = ay = (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector î? Draw coordinate axes on a separate piece of paper, and then add the acceleration vector with its tail at the origin. Write the numerical values for the x and y components and then use this drawing to determine the angle.° counterclockwise from the +x-axis(c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 28.0 s? x = m y = m In what direction is it moving? ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
