Homework Statement
A small space probe of mass 235 kg is traveling at 85.0 m/s. It fires its main engine at an angle of 63.00 to its original direction of travel. The engine produces a thrust of 12,000 N and there is enough fuel on board for a 10.0 s burn. What distance will it have traveled 3.00 hrs after the engine shuts down? Assume no mass loss due to firing the engine.
In which direction is the rocket travelling?
