Compute the magnitude of the vehicles velocity

Reference no: EM13664256

A space vehicle is coasting at fix velocity of 22.2 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.284 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 52.9 second, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off:

(a) Compute the magnitude of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station?

(b) Compute the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction?
