Find direction of the vehicle velocity relative to station

Reference no: EM13665471

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 21.5 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 0.310 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 44.0 second, the pilot shuts off the reaction control system thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, determine the following quantities.

(a) The magnitude of the vehicle's velocity

m/s

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

° to the right of the +y direction
