A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of v0x = 4570 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 873 s. One engine gives the spacecraft an acceleration in the +x direction of ax = 1.20 m/s2, while the other gives it an acceleration in the +y direction of ay = 7.70 m/s2. At the end of the firing, find the following. (a) vx =       m/s(b) vy =       m/s
