In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 16.5 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends at preset intervals to cut the glass to size. Since the assembly belt must keep moving at constant speed, the cutter is set to cut at an angle to compensate for the motion of the glass. The glass is 74.7 cm wide and the cutter moves from one edge to the other in 3.0 s At what angle to the width of the sheet should the cutter be set to move? 58.23

On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 389 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 3.41 m/s^2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.34 m/s^2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 1860 m/s and vy = 4290 m/s. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the initial velocity. Express the direction as an angle with respect to the +x axis.

I am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank you
