A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of vox=5480 m/s along the x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 842s. One engine gives the spacecraft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 1.20 m/s^2, while the other gives it an acceleration in the y direction of ay=8.40 m/s^2. At the end of the firing what is a) vx and b) vy?
