A fish swims directly east across a river, but it is pulled 672m downstream (south) by a strong 6.00 m/s current. The fish was going at its maximum speed of 4.0 m/s(relative to the water) directly across the river. a) How wide is the river? b) How long does it take the fish to cross the river? c) What was the fish's speed relative to the shore? d) What is the angle of the resultant vector? e) A fish swims directly across a river, but it's pulled by a strong current. If the river current doubled, then the time required for the fish to reach the opposite shore would be : one quarter, one half, doubled, the same?

An object has an initial velocity of 3.87 m/s at 40.3 degrees. 8.35 seconds later, it is moving at 41.1 m/s at an angle of 26.5 degrees. What acceleration caused this change in velocity?
How will the velocity change when the acceleration is perpendicular to it? None of the magnitude and direction will change. The magnitude of velocity will change and the direction will not. The direction of velocity will change and the magnitude will not. Both the magnitude and direction will change.
