A rabbit is moving in the negative x-direction at 1.10 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 13.9 m/s along the negative y-axis, all in 1.20 s. Determine the x-component and the y-component of the rabbit's acceleration. (Enter your answers in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) HINT

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = -1.1 i  m /s ( along - ve direction )

final velocity = - 13.9 j

change in velocity = -13.9 j + 1.1 i

rate of change of velocity

acceleration

= (-13.9 j + 1.1 i) / 1.2

= -11.58 j + 0.916 i

x component

= 0.916 m /s²

y component

= - 11.58 m / s²
