A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 22.3 m/s in the y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the
vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.277 m/s^2 in the x direction. After 46.6 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find:
a. The magnitude.
b. The direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the y direction.
