An object is traveling East through the earth’s atmosphere at 20.0 km/s while at the same time falling down under the influence of earth’s gravity at a rate of 15 km/s. At this moment, what is its net speed, in km/s? What is its acceleration in the vertical direction (both magnitude and direction)?
