A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 107 m and a takeoff speed 77 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 at 23° with respect to the horizontal. (Assume that the F-35's initial direction along the deck of the aircraft carrier is the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) What is its velocity and speed at this time?
