A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity
(4.00 î + 1.00 ĵ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is ₁ = (15.0 î –
1.70 ĵ) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 18.0 s, its velocity is = (24.0 î – 6.00 ĵ) m/s.
(a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish?
(b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector î?
(c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 30.0 s? In what direction is it moving?
Part 1 of 7 - Conceptualize
The fish is speeding up and changing direction in a horizontal plane relative to a known position vector. We will write separate equations to describe the x and y
components of its motion under constant acceleration.
Part 2 of 7 - Categorize
We will model the fish as an object under constant acceleration. We use the standard equations for two dimensional motion in the xy plane. We will use x and y
subscripts for the components of position, velocity, and acceleration. We know the initial velocity of the fish and its velocity after a certain period of time. We
want to calculate the final position of the fish and its direction of motion after it swims for an additional period of time.
Part 3 of 7 - Analyze
We are given that at t = 0 s, V¡ = (4.00 î + 1.00 ĵ) m/s and ř; = (15.0 î – 1.70 ĵ) m. After the fish swims for t = 18.0 s, we know that V₁ = (24.0 î– 6.00 ĵ)
m/s.
(a) Write the x and y components ax and a, for the constant acceleration vector a.
