A rocket starts at rest on a launchpad.  At t = 0 the rocket has a constant acceleration of a= 25 m⁄s2 straight upwards.  10 seconds after launch, the rocket corrects course and begins heading upwards at 80 degrees with respect to the horizontal and keeps the same magnitude of the acceleration.  What is the velocity vector of the rocket 12 s after the course correction (i.e. 22 s after launch)?
