A spacecraft is traveling through space parallel to the x direction with an initial velocity of magnitude

Question:

A spacecraft is traveling through space parallel to the x direction with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 = 3500 m/s. At t = 0, the pilot turns on the engines, producing an acceleration of magnitude α = 150 m/s2 along the y direction. Find the speed and the angle the velocity makes with the x direction at 

(a) t = 15 s and 

(b) 45 s.
