A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of Vox = 6360 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 885 s. One engine gives the spacecraft an acceleration in the +x direction of ax = 1.15 m/s², while the other gives it an acceleration in the ty direction of ay = 7.85 m/s². At the end of the firing, what is a) vx and b) vy?

A van had a small light in the ceiling of the cargo bay. When the van is accelerating east at a rate of 2.99 m/s^2, the light bulb rattles loose and falls to the floor. Determine the acceleration relative to the earth and its direction and the acceleration relative to the van and it’s direction.
The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center.
Calculate vz, the x component of the velocity of the particle. Express your answer in meters per second.
An airplane takes 5 hours to travel a distance of 5400 miles with the wind. The return trip takes 6 hours against the wind. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.1m/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 0.324m/s^2 in the +x direction. After 35.1s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find the magnitude and 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.
The equation r(t) = (/2t) i+ (/2t- 16t2) j is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at time t= 0. The angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at time t = 0 is radians. (Type an exact answer, using n as needed.)
The position of a particle in space at time tis: r(t) = (sec(t)) * i + (tan t) * j + 4/3 tk. Write the particle's velocity at time t = (pi / 6) as the product of its speed and direction.
