Answer:
The second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1
Explanation:
The given parameters for the equation of motion of the fishes are;
X1 = -6.4 m + (-1.2 m/s)×t
X2 = 1.3 m + (-2.7 m/s)×t
The given equation are straight line equations in the slope and intercept form, where the slope is the speed and in m/s and the intercept is the starting point of swimming of the fishes
For the first fish, the intercept = -6.4 m, the slope = the speed = -1.2 m/s
For the second fish, the intercept = 1.3 m, the slope = the speed = -2.7 m/s
Whereby the fishes are swimming in the opposite direction of the measurement of length, we have;
The magnitude of the speed of the second fish , is larger than the magnitude of the speed of the first fish
Therefore, the second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1.
