![**PRACTICE IT**
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A jet plane traveling horizontally at \( v_{0,x} = 1.15 \times 10^2 \, \text{m/s} \) drops a rocket from a considerable height (see figure). The rocket immediately fires its engines, accelerating at \( 27.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) in the x-direction while falling under the influence of gravity in the y-direction. When the rocket has fallen 1.00 km, find the following:
(a) its velocity in the y-direction
\[ \_\_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \]
(b) its velocity in the x-direction
\[ \_\_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \]
(c) the magnitude and direction (counterclockwise from the \( +x \)-axis) of its velocity. Neglect air drag and aerodynamic lift.
magnitude \[ \_\_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \]
direction \[ \_\_\_\_ ^\circ \]
