As a space craft approaches a planet, the rocket engines on it are fired to slow it down so it will go into orbit around the planet. The spacecraft's mass is 208 kg and the thrust (force) of the rocket engines is 57 N. If the speed of the spacecraft must be decreased by 133 m/s, how long must the engines be fired. (Ignore the change in mass due to the rocket engines firing).
