4.5 Exercise 29

Avg difficulty 2.5

A spaceship is traveling at a constant velocity of v→(t)=250.0i^m/s\overset{\rightarrow}{v} \left(t\right) = 250.0 \hat{i} \text{m} / \text{s} when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a→(t)=(3.0i^+4.0k^)m/s2.\overset{\rightarrow}{a} \left(t\right) = \left(3.0 \hat{i} + 4.0 \hat{k}\right) \text{m} / \text{s}^{2} . What is its velocity 55 s after the rockets fire?
