Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Magnitude of the initial velocity
Angle made by vi with x- axis
Magnitude of the final velocity
Angle made by vf with x axis
Time interval during which the velocity changes
Formula used:
The components of the velocity vectors along the x and the y directions are given by,
The change in velocity along the x and the y directions is given by,
The components of the acceleration along the x and y directions are given by,
The equation to determine the variation of
The equation to determine the variation of
Calculation:
Resolve the vectors vi and vf along the x and the y axes. This is shown in the diagram below.
The components of the velocity vector vi are directed along +x and-y axes, hence the y component is assigned a negative sign. Calculate the magnitude of the components substituting the values of the variables in the equation,
The components of the final velocity vector vf are directed along the +x and +y directions, hence the components are positive. Calculate the magnitude of the components of the vector vf using the values of the variables.
Calculate the change in velocity along the x and the y directions.
Calculate the components of the acceleration along the x and the y directions.
Using the values of vix and ax in the equation

The y component of the acceleration ay is independent of time, since the object's acceleration remains constant during the time interval.
Plot a graph showing the variation of ay with time t.

Conclusion:
The graph showing the variation of vx with time is linear and the value increases from 10 m/s to 17.32 m/s at the end of 10 s.
The graph showing the variation of vy with time is also linear and its value increases from -17.32 m/s to reach a value of 10 m/s at the end of 10 s.
The graph showing the variation of ay with time is a straight line parallel to the time axis, showing that its value is invariant with time.
Thus all the results are consistent with an object moving with a constant acceleration during the time interval of 10s.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
