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 = (12.0 ? 1.80 ) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 19.0 s, its velocity is = (17.0 ? 1.00 ) m/s.
(a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish?
ax =

m/s2
ay = -0.10

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 ?

a. The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. -9.19° = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

Explanation:

The initial velocity v₁ of the fish is v₁ = 4.00i + 1.00j m/s. Its final velocity after accelerating for t = 19.0 s is v₂ =  17.0i - 1.00j m/s

a. The acceleration a = (v₂ - v₁)/t = [17.0i - 1.00j - (4.00i + 1.00j)]/19 = [(17.0 -4.0)i - (-1.0 -1.0)j]/19 = (13.0i - 2.0j)/19 = 0.68i - 0.11j m/s²

The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. The direction of the acceleration relative to the unit vector i,

tanθ = a₂/a₁ = -0.11/0.68 = -0.1618

θ = tan⁻¹(-0.1618) = -9.19° ⇒ 360 + (-9.19) = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
