Question

A space shuttle is flying north at 6,510 m/s. It

Answer 1

Answer:

7808 m/s

Explanation:

Find NE velocity after 60 s  of acceleration in that direction:

  = a t  =  28.4 m/s^2 * 60 s = 1704  m/s

    Vertical component = 1704 sin 45 = 1204.9 m/s

     Horiz component = 1704 cos 45 = 1204.9  m/s

Add the two vertical components

  6510 + 1204.9 = 7714.9 m/s = vertical velocity

Pythagorean theorem to find resultant of vertical and horiz  v's

Vf ^2 = 1204.9^2   + 7714.9^2 0

Vf = 7808. m/s
