What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the asteroid produced by the thrusters and in which direction does it act? 2. If the constant force acts in the same direction as the asteroids motion. calculate the time required to change the speed of the asteroid by 1.0ms-1 and therefore show that this is about 18 hours.

Question
An asteroid has a mass of m = 8.5 × 1012 kg and also has two rocket thrusters attached to it. One thruster supplies a force with x- and y- components
F 1 = (8.0 × 107, 7.0 × 107) N while the other supplies a force with x- and y-components
F 2 = (4.0 × 107, −2.0 × 107) N. (You may ignore the mass of the rocket thrusters and their fuel.)
