A satellite has two perpendicular thrusters it can use to maneuver. Suppose the satellite is traveling at 4700 m/s in the x-direction when it fires its thrusters giving an acceleration of 11 m/s2 in the x-direction and and acceleration of 12 m/s2 in the y-direction. If the thrusters fire for 60 s, in what direction, (in degrees) relative to the x-direction, is the satellite traveling?
